Learning Link Scotland Members Survey

Welcome to Learning Link Scotland Members Survey.

Learning Link Scotland is continually working to improve the services we provide to our members. Our first step towards this is to update each member organisation's details on an annual basis.

The Scottish Government is particularly interested in how organisations can evidence the impact of learning on the lives of adult learners. Therefore this year we are asking 4 specific questions related to measuring impact. These are Questions 11 through to 14 inclusive. Your answers will contribute to building a picture of the impact of learning on adults and on the ways organisations are measuring the impact.

The survey should take you no more than 10 minutes to complete. If you have any queries as you work through it please contact Shirley Howitt, Learning Link Scotland's Development Officer on 0141 353 5649 or mobile: 07725812343 or email showitt@learninglinkscotland.org.uk

The survey will close on Thursday 31st January 2019.
