Social Research</h5> <H3>Sponsor:</H3><H5> Home Office<br> </H5> <h3> Abstract: </h3> <h5>The <i>Citizenship Survey</i> (known in the field as the <i>Communities Study</i>) commenced on a biennial basis in 2001 (the second survey was conducted in 2003, the third in 2005 and the current wave in 2007-2008). The survey provided an evidence base for the work of Communities and Local Government (formerly the Department for Communities and Local Government), principally on the issues of community cohesion, community engagement, race and faith, volunteering and civil renewal. It was also used extensively for developing policy and for performance measurement. The survey was also used more widely, by other government departments and external stakeholders, to help inform their work around the issues covered in the survey. The survey moved to a continuous design in 2007, which means that data became available on a quarterly basis for that survey from April 2007. Once collection for the four quarters was completed, a full aggregated dataset was made available, and the larger sample size allows more detailed analysis.<br> <br> The <i>Citizenship Survey</i> was first conducted by the Home Office (whose remit formerly included the topics covered in the survey), and was then known as the <i>Home Office Citizenship Survey</i> (HOCS) before responsibility moved to the Communities and Local Government department (CLG, now the Department for Communities and Local Government, or DCLG) in May 2006. The HOCS acronym may still be in use for earlier waves of the survey. Further information about the survey, including links to publications, can be found on the DCLG <a href="http://www.communities.gov.uk/communities/research/citizenshipsurvey/" title="Citizenship Survey">Citizenship Survey</a> web pages.<br> <br> <b>January 2011: cancellation of the <i>Citizenship Survey</i></b><br> The DCLG has announced that the <i>Citizenship Survey</i> has been cancelled. Fieldwork will conclude on 31 March 2011, followed by publication of reports in the months after analysis of that data. Further information about the survey closure may be found on the DCLG website at <a href="http://www.communities.gov.uk/communities/research/citizenshipsurvey/surveycancellation/" title="http://www.communities.gov.uk/communities/research/citizenshipsurvey/surveycancellation/">http://www.communities.gov.uk/communities/research/citizenshipsurvey/surveycancellation/</a>.<br> <br>The 2001 Citizenship Survey delivers information to underpin policies on:<br> <li>active citizenship;</li><br> <li>racial prejudice and discrimination;</li><br> <li>people and their neighbourhoods;</li><br> <li>active community participation; and</li><br> <li>family networks and parenting.</li><br> <br> The 2001 survey included a total sample of over 15,000 people aged 16 and over in England and Wales. This comprised a 10,000+ core sample and minority ethnic boost of 5,000+ people aged 16 and over. The minority ethnic boost was achieved through a combination of focussed enumeration and over sampling in high minority ethnic density areas.</h5><h3>Main Topics:</h3><h5>The 2001 Citizenship Survey questionnaire comprised four modules, each focusing on particular Home Office policy responsibilities:<br> <li>family policy, including: household compositions, interaction with non-resident children, family networks and sources of parenting advice and information.</li><br> <li>active communities and social capital, including: neighbourliness, civic participation, informal and formal volunteering, employee volunteering, receipt of voluntary help.</li><br> <li>race equality and prejudice, including: perceptions of race equality and prejudice, identity, religion, language.</li><br> <li>rights and responsibilities, including: self-defined rights and responsibilities, balancing rights and responsibilities.</li><br> <br> The demographics module includes standard demographics, and also media exposure and access to transport.<br> <br> Standard Measures<br> The questionnaire used established questions where practical and adapted standard questions where policy requirements mean it was not possible to use standard questions, for example:<br> <li>demographics: most are taken from the ONS harmonised booklets.</li><br> <li>family relationships: adapted from the GHS family relationship grid,</li><br> <li>hierarchy of community participation: adapted from the method used in the <i>National Survey of Voluntary Activity, 1997</i> (see Davis Smith, 1998) - this study is held at the UK Data Archive under SN:<a href=http://www.data-archive.ac.uk/findingData/snDescription.asp?sn=3931>3931</a>.</li></h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> 20 March 2001 - 07 October 2001 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> England and Wales <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> Inner city/other urban/rural breakdown <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Individuals <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Alpha/numeric data; Individual (micro) level </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> National <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> Nationally representative sample of adults aged 16+, and a boost sample of minority ethnic adults aged 16+, in England and Wales, during 2001 </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Repeated cross-sectional study<br> Previously every two years since 2001.
