2013/14 Review of the Big Lottery Fund |
Welcome to the 2013/14 Review of the Big Lottery Fund
The Triennial Review of the Big Lottery Fund (the Fund) is being conducted as part of the requirement for all Government Departments to review their Non Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs) at least once every three years. More information about the Public Bodies Reform policy is available on https://www.gov.uk/public-bodies-reform
HOW THE REVIEW WILL WORK
As for all Triennial Reviews, the review team will examine whether there is a continuing need for the functions performed by the Big Lottery Fund, and whether the organisation should continue to operate in its current form. If it is determined that there is a continuing need for the organisation in its current form, the review will assess whether the Fund’s control and governance arrangements continue to meet the recognised principles of good corporate governance. The structure, efficiency, and effectiveness of the Fund will also be considered as part of the review.
YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN THE REVIEW
In order to make a full assessment, the review will take into account the views of people who have an involvement with, or interest in, the Fund. This questionnaire is therefore designed to obtain your views on the functions, form, effectiveness and efficiency of the Big Lottery Fund as a grant-making organisation.
• Comments fields are provided for most questions, to enable you to expand on your multiple choice answers if you wish to do so, but these are entirely optional.
• Please do make reference to other funders by way of comparison, when providing responses to the questions.
• A small number of key questions are mandatory, but in most cases where you do not have a view on a particular question, please select the ‘don’t know’ or 'not applicable' option where provided, or leave the question blank.
• If you have any queries about this document, please direct these to the review team on this address:
BLFTriennialReview@cabinet-office.gsi.gov.uk
• The closing date for submitting responses is FRIDAY 10 JANUARY 2014.
The review team is independent of the Big Lottery Fund and of its sponsors within the Cabinet Office, and will ensure the confidentiality of responses.
