Questions, ideas or something not working? This is the place. We read everything and answer every message.
Ways In
There are five ways in, and you only need one. The Hub is being built for the people who use it, so if something is missing or awkward we would rather hear it now.
A Question for Us
Courses, who can take part, what happens on a shoot, how to start from scratch. Ask us anything and we will come back to you.
Something Is Broken
A page that will not load, a form that will not send, a button that does nothing. Tell us what you were trying to do and what happened instead.
Something Could Be Better
Nothing is broken, it just does not feel right. Confusing wording, a step that takes too long, something you expected to find and could not. This is the one most people have something to say about.
See It First
Beta testers get new parts of the platform before everybody else and tell us what does not make sense. No technical knowledge needed. Not knowing how something works is exactly the useful bit.
Help Steer It
The Hub Advisory Group meets to shape what the Hub does, not just how the website works. If you want a say in the programme itself, this is the one.
