In some cases, it may be appropriate, and helpful, for the applicant to be given some specific feedback, as opposed to placing a condition on the award. For example, to advise that they may wish to review one of their operational policies. Generally speaking, conditions are used where a weakness needs addressed before or during the delivery of the project in question in order for the Fund criteria to be met or to ensure effective use of the grant, while feedback is used to make the applicant aware of points of good practice that are not pre-requisites to receiving funding. Feedback does not affect the award on that particular occasion. It should be aimed at helping the applicant organisation develop and increase its ability to deliver and should be worded as positively as possible.
