Gaelic Attitude Survey

The results of this survey will be used to guide us in how we support Gaelic in the wider community and schools in future. We would encourage you to be as frank as possible in your responses as it is as vital for us to know what turns people off Gaelic as it is to find out what enthuses them about the language.
If you feel more comfortable about submitting your response anonymously, please do so.
If you are happy for us to get back to you if we feel that there are points to follow up on, please enter your name and e-mail address.
Mòran taing for taking the time to complete the survey.
