Who has been involved in designing the survey and the questionnaire?
Last year, the Office of the Third Sector commissioned detailed development work to design the current survey from a consortium of BMG Research, Guidestar, Inlogov and NCVO, which included a smaller scale trial wave of the survey. The full report is available on the Office of the Third Sector web site www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/third_sector/Research_and_statistics/third_sector_research/measuring.aspx In addition, Ipsos MORI have since tested a revised draft of the questionnaire with a mix of 35 different third sector organisations during August 2008. We have involved stakeholders from the sector and from government throughout the development of the survey.
