S3 Solutions are an independent consultancy company who have been commissioned by the Department of Rural and Community Development (DRCD) to carry out a piece of research on the barriers to involvement in Public Participation Networks (PPN). We are keen to explore the demographic characteristics of groups and individuals involved in all 31 PPNs in Ireland and in doing so, investigate the diversity of participation and where appropriate explore the barriers and challenges for diverse groups in actively participating in PPNs.
Participating in the survey
Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary. If you decide to answer the questions you can still change your mind. You can stop at any time. While the overall focus of the survey is on the PPN, on understanding barriers and challenges affecting member groups involved in PPNs and investigating the diversity involved, the survey also includes some questions aimed at gathering some more information on the person answering the questionnaire, to help further understand any barriers and challenges.
