W@W network survey Spring 2010

The WEA Women@Work Project provides information and training for women in northern Scotland. We aim to help women to speak out and to influence decisions which affect them.
Your answers to this confidential survey will help us to ensure that our activities meet your needs, and will help us develop appropriately in future.

We first ran the survey in 2007 and now want to assess our progress since then.

It should take about 5 minutes to complete.
