Survey for Disability Federation of Ireland (DFI) Member Organisations

This survey is for completion by DFI’s member organisations. As a federation, DFI wants to ensure that its work reflects the expectations of its members. Your input is critical in deciding on the direction and focus of DFI.

Please complete by 17:00 on Friday 4th December 2020

Your response will be confidential. Only Mary Carroll from Growth Potential will have access to individual responses. All feedback will be anonymised. The rationale for asking you to identify your organisation in the survey is so that she can take the number of people responding from each organisation into account when analysing trends in the data.
