Reviewing for Mind

Who can review?

You should:

• have personal experience of the topic we’re reviewing
• be aged 18 or over
• feel able to take on the work – consider whether reading about subjects close to your own experiences might be upsetting, especially if you’re feeling unwell.

We are particularly keen to hear from people from diverse backgrounds, including BAME, LGBTIQ+, disability or faith.

What could you review?

The topics for review are different each time. Please check back in here regularly to see which topics we are recruiting for.

Unfortunately we are not able to accept speculative offers to review topics that we are not currently recruiting for.

What does reviewing involve?

• We will email you some information we’re currently writing and a questionnaire about it.
• We need you to complete the questionnaire on a computer and email it back to us by the deadline we set you.
• We are not looking for editors or proofreaders, so don’t worry if spelling and grammar aren’t your strong point. (We have teams that do this for us). We just want you to tell us your thoughts based on your experience of the topic.
• It should take about 2 hours in total.

Any personal information you give us will be used solely to select a review panel and will be held securely. We never share or publish your health information without your consent.

We will try to get back to you within 2 weeks of the application deadline to let you know if you have been selected, but this can take longer in busy periods.

Payment

Mind values reviewer feedback. We pay each reviewer £25 to say thank you for their time.

If you think this payment might affect your benefits, you should contact your local benefit office or Citizens Advice for advice before applying.
