If you don’t have access to a computer, you can set up your own email account on a computer at your local library or other local facilities; however, these may vary so check out shopping centres and community centres in your area. Free email accounts can be set up through providers such as www.yahoo.co.uk, Gmail and Hotmail. Just log onto their websites and follow the instructions. Setting up an email account with one of these web-based providers means you’ll be able to access your email using any computer with internet access. To keep your personal details safe, always remember to logout from your account if you are using a shared computer. We also recommend that you compose your answers to longer questions, (ie those with free text areas) off-line in a word processing package and then copy and paste your answers into the form. This ensures that you can spell check your text and that you have a backup version of your answers.
