Do I have to register to use the website?
No. It is up to you to decide whether or not to register.
If you decide to register you will be asked questions about yourself to help direct you to the most useful information on the website. We will ask you to consent to share this information, and some personal details, with us. If you decide to register you are still free to withdraw at any time. You won’t have to give us any specific reason for withdrawing. If you decide not to register, or change your mind and withdraw, this is fine.
If you do not register you may still use the website and its information.
