The TLP has produced guidance materials to support third sector organisations in gathering, storing and using data in line with best practice. These materials are intended to be live documents, and so will be updated and amended when appropriate as required. Our documentation includes:
• General information about data and best practice
• The rationale for collecting demographic data
• Recommendations for the information that should be collected for each demographic characteristic and how that information should be collected
• Ways to effectively gather service evaluation data
The guidance materials consist of:
• A pdf of written documentation [click here to download]
• A pdf of supplemental slides which describes the recommendations more visually [click here to download]
• A model questionnaire for demographic data collection, which is linked within the above documents
While these documents were designed with third sector organisations in mind, many of our recommendations are equally applicable to other types of organisations. We hope that you find these materials useful, and [click here to access our contact form] if you have any questions or would like to arrange a consultation with us.
