The research
The Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) and its Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs) share a common need for quality-assured data on participation, attendance, attitudes and related factors across its sectors. Up-to-date information is needed so that the reach of the activities sponsored by the DCMS can be measured in order to inform policy and planning. The DCMS's current Public Service Agreements (PSAs) have a significant focus on increasing participation in Arts, Sport, Museums and Heritage, particularly by a range of ‘priority groups’. The Taking Part Survey has now become the mechanism for monitoring progress against several of these targets.
Prior to the Taking Part Survey there was no single survey providing the required detail of data on participation and attendance across all of our sectors, with the Department and NDPBs using national Government sponsored surveys such as the GHS, Health Survey for England, ad hoc sector specific surveys, box office data or buying questions into existing ‘omnibus’ surveys. The Taking Part Survey gives detail on participation and attendance covering all DCMS sectors that will provide the ability to carry out statistically robust analysis at cross-sectoral, socio-demographic sub-group and regional levels.
