Communications Survey For The HEFCE

Following on from three previous communications surveys, this research -- for the HEFCE (Higher Education Funding Council for England) was conducted by self-completion questionnaire among staff who have dealings with the HEFCE in a representative sample of 25 universities, 17 higher education colleges and 29 FE colleges.

The results show improvement in overall measures of favourability and contact levels since the last survey by MORI in 1999/00. They also highlight key areas for attention, such as clarity of the HEFCE's role.
