01In brief

The short answer.

Organizing a campaign with Nexus Campaigns starts with a proposal from an educator, civic group, researcher, community partner or programme team, reviewed before approval and then carried by a named responsible manager. The proposal service opens when its review team, terms and safeguards are in place; until then ideas are discussed by enquiry.

03The proposal

What a proposal is designed to contain.

  • the public-interest aim and the question the campaign answers;
  • the evidence behind the messages and the people who reviewed it;
  • the intended audiences and how they were understood;
  • the proposed campaign manager and the organization they act for;
  • funding sources, in full, and any interests of the proposers;
  • the permissions needed for content, data and participation;
  • the measures of success and the planned closing date.
04Review

How a proposal is reviewed.

  1. 01

    Eligibility

    Is the aim in the public interest, and within the platform's themes and boundaries?

  2. 02

    Evidence

    Do the messages rest on sources a specialist reviewer accepts, with uncertainty stated?

  3. 03

    Safeguards

    Are consent, privacy, accessibility and safeguarding adequate for the audiences?

  4. 04

    Decision

    Approve, ask for changes or decline, with reasons recorded and shared with the proposer.

A reviewer with a conflict of interest in a proposal takes no part in its decision. A declined proposer can ask for the decision to be looked at again by someone who did not take it.

Questions and answers.

Does it cost anything to propose a campaign?
No fee applies to an enquiry or a proposal. Any costs of running a campaign are set out in its own terms.

A proposal is judged on its public-interest aim and evidence. Commercial promotion is outside scope, and all funding must be disclosed.
Can GCRI's name or logo appear on my campaign?
Only as set out in the approved record. Approval implies no endorsement beyond publication on this platform.
How long does review take?
Review time depends on the proposal and the audiences. The acknowledgement names the next step; no response time is promised.
