Purpose and publisher in four parts.
Public-interest communication held to a research standard.
The platform exists for public-interest communication, participation and campaign-specific knowledge mobilisation. It treats a campaign as a piece of applied social research with a purpose, a defined public, consented participation and measures agreed in advance.
Its community
Educators, civic groups, researchers, community partners and programme teams.
Its methods
Audience research, consented participation and public communication evaluation.
Its outputs
Campaign explainers, responsible participation guides and campaign outcome records.
GCRI answers for what the platform publishes.
GCRI is responsible for the content of Campaigns, for the review of each campaign before it is listed and for corrections. Editorial coverage of the platform’s topics requires named subject review, references and relevant independent specialist voices. Campaign managers are named on each approved campaign record, so readers can see who is accountable for it.
Campaigns is an established platform. Its existing community and published root are preserved, and its activity is substantiated by audit before it is described here. Information and enquiries are open today. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; proposals, registrations and participation open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
What the platform never does.
- It issues no warnings or emergency instructions; those come only from mandated authorities.
- It names no institution, community or person as a partner or supporter without their current written permission.
- It does not regulate, certify, license or approve any person, product, message or institution.
- Sponsorship, hosting or funding confers no editorial control; funding is disclosed on the campaign record.
- It does not use participants’ data for marketing, and enquiries are never shared across institutions.
Sector decisions remain with the competent authorities and institutions under their own rules. See campaign integrity.
Where the platform sits.
Campaigns is one of the platforms listed on GCRI platforms. Its methods rest on its STEM foundation, and its approach to campaigns is set out in how campaigns work. Questions of information governance are convened by The Global Risks Forum (GRF) on Information Integrity. Contributors and their roles are described on contributors and community.
