<span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">As part of evidence collected and submitted to help secure this recognition, the university is asking our staff and PhD students to complete a survey to share how well you think we support public engagement. This is
your chance to say how easy you find it to access support to conduct public engagement and give feedback on how we are performing overall. The survey is open to colleagues across all job families across the university. It takes around 15 minutes to complete
(or longer if you choose to provide more detailed feedback).</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
