Method • Survey revised based on recommendations from past reports, research and staff input • Survey translated into 5 languages • Available at all 3 offices (table set up at 340 College) for 3-week period (July-Aug) • ‘Convenience sample’ (not randomly selected) • Analysis in progress
Respondents • 194 responses, mostly at 340 College St. • Average age=37 (range: 16-83 ) • Mix of newer and long-term clients • Different immigration statuses represented
Summary • Overall ratings are positive–most categories >80% • Few major concerns identified • Some clients expressed concerns re. waiting time for appointments • Many clients not aware of rights/responsibilities and suggestion/complaints process • Some room for improvement re. cultural sensitivity? • Settlement clients not well represented in sample
