Call for Research Participants for Portal Content

Last updated on: 11 July 2025

As part of improvements in how we write and deliver plant health content, Defra have set up a project to look at the content and location of:

  • Pest Alerts
  • Pest Factsheets
  • Pest Contingency Plans 

Which are currently word/PDF documents on the Plant Health Portal.

We are looking for interested parties to take part in online user research sessions over the coming weeks & months. The first phase is scheduled to run between Thursday 10th July & Tuesday 15th July, no prep work would be needed and the session will be quite informal with a focus on helping us explore and understand user needs and journeys with regards to the fact sheet, alert & contingency planning content.

 If you are interested in taking part please email plantpestsrisks@defra.gov.uk and we will be in touch to arrange dates/times
