How does it work?

Contact your Jisc Regional Support Centre to set up an initial consultation to identify:-

• What staff development issues you would you like to address?• What questions you would like to include?• Over what timescale would you like to carry out the survey?• Which staff within your organisation would you like to target?• How granular would you like the feedback report to be?

The Jisc RSC advisor, facilitates the meeting, creates the survey, analyses the data and provides feedback and any follow-up actions.
