Evidencing the impact of T:BUC good relations work
Evidence is key to informing government decision making and funding. Government needs to know that public monies it invests into funding programmes is making a difference and having a positive impact on the outcomes of the people who live here. Good quality data is key to being able to measure impact, to plan future services and to identify where need is greatest.
One way The Executive Office (TEO) sees if funding is making a difference is to use questionnaires to ask questions of the people who take part in Good Relations programmes.
As a project delivering T:BUC funded work, you can play an important role in ensuring TEO has the best evidence possible. We can assure you they will only ever ask participants the questions they need answers to.
The documents (accessed through the link further below) offer guidance on how to complete the questionnaire, as well as providing different types of questionnaires to suit the work you are delivering and age range of the participants taking part.

Questionnaires
Please refer to the document “Guidance Evidencing T:BUC Good Relations Funding Outcomes” to help you select the correct questionnaires to complete.
- One-Off Event questionnaire responses should be completed online by participants themselves via the QR code or web link provided. This also reduces administrative burden for you. However, we do know some delivery settings and / or groups can make online completion challenging for some activities. The One-Off Event spreadsheets were developed for use in such circumstances. The trade-off is that using them requires you to input all One-Off Event questionnaire responses to the online link. You do not need to return the One-Off Event spreadsheet(s) to us.
- The pre- and post-questionnaire should be used where the participant takes part in something that runs over a period of time.
An absolute closing date has been set for all data submissions for the 2026/27 reporting year: Friday 30 April 2027 at 5 PM.
