General Information: Our research team are working on examining the social impact of the Covid-19 No-Fault Compensation Schemes. The Principal Researcher is Dr Sonia Macleod , who is attached to the Centre for Socio-legal Studies at the University of Oxford. We are interested in gaining a greater understanding of the social impact of the Covid-19 No-Fault Compensation Schemes, which will contribute to implementing good practices- for future pandemics- and advise a better claim process in general. This project highlight what are the barriers and enablers to people to seek redress, who had been injured after receiving the Covid-19 vaccine
This is the third phase of a wider research project, you can find out further details of the project here or by contacting Sonia Macleod (email). We are keen to understand the views about the claim processes available following Covid-19 Vaccine injury.
FAQ:
What is this survey for? This survey is for finding out information about the claim process. We want a range of views and experiences including both individuals who have made a claim and those who have a more general interest in these schemes.
Do I have to take part? No. Please note that participation is voluntary. If you do decide to take part, you may withdraw at any point for any reason before submitting your answers. You can do this by closing the browser. We have also included a ‘Prefer not to say’ option if there are particular questions that you choose not to answer.
Are there any potential risks in taking part? Recalling details around the claim process and, if applicable, about your injury might be distressing and trigger negative thoughts. In order to minimise participant’s distress our research does not focus on the injury itself, but on the process(es) for obtaining financial redress.
Taking part in this research will not have any impact on any claims you are currently making or that you may make in the future.
How will my data be used? During the survey we will not collect personal data that could identify you and your IP address will not be stored.

Research data will be stored for three years after the conclusion of the project.
