We would prefer that you fill out the form on a computer. You will need Microsoft Word. (If you don’t have Microsoft Word you can print the form out and fill it in by hand. Please use this print-friendly version of the form)
Tips for filling in the form on your computer
You will find it much easier to fill the form in on a laptop or desktop computer than on a mobile or tablet. Save the downloaded Word document to an area on your computer where you will be able to find it later.
Typing in your answers:
- Where you see ‘Type your response here.’ text highlighted in yellow on the very first box, you need to double click to type over the text.
- When you’ve typed in your answer, you can use the Tab key to keep moving through the answers. Or you can use your mouse and double click in the next answer box.
- Once you tab to the next field, you can type straight over the highlighted ‘Type your response here’ text.
To check a box (for yes/no type questions):
- Click on an answer box with your mouse to add a cross to a box.
- You can click on the box again to remove the cross if you made a mistake.
Providing your signature:
- You can just type your name into the relevant box.
Save your changes regularly in Word so you don’t lose them.
