# Using the Social Climate Survey: Resources and Challenges. In the end, although the survey tool was drafted and aligned with our Theory of Change, it was **not adequately tested during the pilot**. Time constraints, limited capacity within the team, meant we were unable to pilot the tool with participants in a meaningful or sustained way. Despite this, the development process helped clarify what we value and need from our evaluation: tools that are **relational, low-pressure, and embedded** into everyday practice—not one-off data exercises. **Looking ahead**, we hope to refine and pilot the Social Climate Survey in future projects, with two key ambitions. First, we aim to **trial a “drip-feed” format**, where individual survey items are delivered gradually over time—reducing respondent burden while fostering reflection and ongoing engagement. Second, we plan to **automate the collection and visualisation of responses**, feeding the data directly into evolving **Social Climate Profiles** for each team and circle. These profiles would offer a dynamic snapshot of emotional, relational, and cultural wellbeing—supporting feedback loops, informing peer reflection, and deepening our collective understanding of what makes care feel safe, inclusive, and nourishing. To realise this vision, we are seeking partners and funders who share our interest and commitment to developing this tool further. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
