Using Hotjar’s survey tool means we can better understand our users’ needs, for example:

• if they are finding the content they need
• what information is missing that we need to provide.

This feedback allows us to make this website as useful as possible. Do not include personal information when giving feedback — we are not able to respond.

Not everyone will see a Hotjar survey pop-up, but if you do, it will first ask you if you have found everything you have been looking for on a page.
