FM Working Group - important research project continues

posted 18 Nov 2009 08:34 by FM Working Group

We will shortly be publishing the findings of an important piece of research which aims to establish the current nature and degree of provision of fm systems across the UK.

We are very grateful to everyone who has already contributed.  We hope that everyone involved in providing fm systems to children and young people will take the opportunity to register their views by completing the survey and there is a short time still available if you would like to take part.  It should only take a few minutes of your time.

We would like to thank everyone who took the time to respond to our recent survey on fm provision.  We know that the findings of the research will prove to be very valuable and details will appear on this website soon.
 
If you work with a service that provides fm systems but missed the deadline, there is still a short time left to complete the survey - please email Elizabeth Wood at liz@argeles.freeserve.co.uk for a copy.
