Q:

please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate
you.
Q:
Can I get a paper copy of Infobase?
A:
We don't produce a paper copy of Infobase.
We endeavour to keep the information as up to date
as possible, so keeping the information on the
website is the best way of limiting the amount of
wrong or out of date information out there.
Q:
How will you ensure that the information on Infobase is kept up to date?
A:
Information will be kept updated by a number of methods, including feedback from
organisations and an ongoing process of quarterly
update calls and checking and amending.
Q:
What measures are being taken to ensure that the website will be completely accessible?
A:
In addition to ensuring that the Infobase website is designed in accordance with the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Accessibility Initiative, we are currently working with Jim Byrne of ScotConnect (formerly of the Making Connections Unit) who has extensive experience in this area.
Q:
My organisation’s address has changed, how do I update the new details?
A:
If any of your details have changed, or if you have noticed an error in the listing for your organisation, please let us know at
updates.infobase@gcvs.org.uk
and we’ll update the record.
Q:
Is inclusion in Infobase worthwhile for small organisations?
A:
Yes. We want to build up as accurate a picture of Glasgow’s community and voluntary sector as possible, so it is important to include different sizes of organisation.
