Sport in Scotland: report

Appendix 1: Scottish Sport Survey

Disseminated using the Online Surveys (BOS) online survey tool, University of Edinburgh license

The Scottish Government has engaged Edinburgh University to undertake a short review of how the voice of sport in Scotland is heard.

This survey forms an important part of a wider consultation process with key stakeholders to offer observations on the current Scottish Sporting Landscape with a view to facilitating a more streamlined and coherent voice for Scottish sport.

Your insight will be invaluable in shaping the final report. This questionnaire will take no longer than 5-10 minutes to complete and all responses are anonymised.

Any data will only be held until the end of the project period which is December 2018. Please complete the survey by 7th September 2018. Your co-operation is greatly appreciated
