Help us improve the LMI Matrix

We are redesigning the Matrix. Please share your views with us: what is good, what could be better, what you would find useful.

The survey is easy to complete and will only take 10 minutes at the most. We welcome a wide range of views: if you are a Justice sector employer or stakeholder, a training provider, Skills for Justice staff, or an occasional visitor to the Matrix, please spare a little time to share your views with us. If you don't know the answer to a question or don't have a view on an issue please make sure you do continue to the end. Your contribution will still be valuable. Your answers are completely confidential. We will only use your responses to improve the Matrix and will not attempt to contact you unless you are willing to contribute to this work further. When you are ready, please click on 'Next'
