Participation Survey

You can find out more information about the Participation Survey on the Guidance Page, such as methodology, questionnaires and ad hoc releases.

DCMS is considering options for the structure of our social surveys in the future, ensuring that meeting user needs and achieving value for money remains at the forefront of any survey design. We invite views from all interested stakeholders in your current use of the Participation Survey and Community Life Survey and your priorities for future design.

Any changes would not impact the 2023/24 or 2024/25 Participation Survey or Community Life Survey. A summary of the responses to this consultation will be provided in a published response within 12 weeks of the consultation closing.

We encourage you to respond to this consultation by completing the online survey.  If you require a paper version please contact us at participationsurvey@dcms.gov.uk or communitylifesurvey@dcms.gov.uk. The consultation will close at 11:59pm on 23 May 2024.

30 November: We have updated all breakdowns by disability status in our annual publications to align with the harmonised standard. Please see here for further details.
