Summary

We're seeking views on proposed changes to the BEIS Public Attitudes Tracker.

This consultation ran from
9:30am on 16 February 2018 to 11:45pm on 18 March 2018

Consultation description

The quarterly BEIS Public Attitudes Tracker provides a valuable source of evidence for the department in its development of energy policy. It originated in DECC in 2012, and to date there have been 24 waves of data collection.

However with the creation of BEIS, the department’s priorities are now broader and include other policy areas where data on public attitudes would benefit policy formation, so we are considering whether to extend the survey to cover this wider range.

The review covers:

• the survey topic areas
• the frequency of the survey
• the sample size
• its outputs

To inform this review we would like to understand how the statistics are currently used and their value to users, as well as the impact of any proposed changes.
