Conducting a survey (SCNI)

This factsheet has been produced by Supporting Communities NI.  It is designed for use by community groups, for whom key stakeholders include local residents.

It provides information and a step by step guide to help make the process of conducting surveys easier. It deals specifically with questionnaires as they are by far the most common method used by community groups to collect data.

Conducting surveys may seem a major task however it is a very necessary one as it will give the community group a clearer picture of the problems in the area and ample information when approaching statutory bodies and other outside agencies.  For community groups, it is important to recognise that residents are the real experts of the area in which they live and know best what they require.  It is therefore essential that their views are sought, recorded and acted upon.

Currently factsheets are only available as hard copies that you can order free of charge by contacting Supporting Communities NI on 028 2564 5676 or emailing them at info@supportingcommunitiesni.org
