2008 survey results
Thanks to all of you who responded to the Focus survey in April 08. We’ve analysed the results which informed our plans for your new online Focus from Feb 09.
Since Feb, we’ve gone bi-monthly and merged Focus and Focus on CDS. But content is clearly colour coded as civil, crime or cross cutting.
The full survey results and an executive summary are in the Documents panel.
