The Study Member Advisory Panel will be a small group of study members who will help us make future decisions about Child of the New Century.?
Thank you to everyone who volunteered to join the Panel – we were delighted to receive so much interest. We’re now looking at everyone’s responses, and we aim to be in touch with you by the end of July.
We think CNC will be a better, more successful study with your input!
We aim to appoint study members from a range of different backgrounds, who together will bring a mix of perspectives to Panel discussions.
Panel members don’t need any specific education, professional experience or formal qualifications to join.
What types of things will the Panel be asked to comment on?
We’re planning to get the Panel’s input on a variety of different things. This might include:
There will be two Panel meetings per year:
Yes, Panellists will be paid for time spent preparing for and attending Panel meetings. We will also cover reasonable expenses.
Panellists will be appointed for a two-year term. We don’t plan to extend the term beyond this or ask study members to serve two consecutive terms. This is because we’re keen for other study members to have the opportunity to join the Panel in future.
Panellists can resign from the Panel during their two-year term if they change their mind or are no longer able to take part.
In May 2026, we invited all study members to complete a short online survey about what we should ask you in future surveys. The survey also asked if you would be interested in being part of the Panel and why. We’re reviewing your answers to this and aim to choose a group that will bring a range of different perspectives and walks of life.
We’re aiming to get back to everyone by the end of July.
If you’re not selected this time, we’ll hold your application on file, so that we can come back to you in the future when we’re looking for new Panellists.
