title: EU Kids Online: Enhancing Knowledge Regarding European Children's Use, Risk and Safety Online, 2010

description: The project aimed to enhance the knowledge base regarding children’s and parents’ experiences and practices of risk and safety in their use of the internet and new online technologies in Europe. The goal was to inform the promotion of a safer online environment for children. A comparable quantitative survey of children’s use of online technologies across European member states, matched with a survey of their parents’ experiences regarding their children’s internet use, was designed and conducted. The questionnaire design built on knowledge generated by the EU Kids Online network, on findings from comparable surveys of children and parents conducted elsewhere, and on the recommendations of the Safer Internet Forum 2007.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Specific objectives were: (1) to design a thorough and robust survey instrument appropriate for identifying the nature of children’s access, use, risk, coping and safety awareness; (2) to design a thorough and robust survey instrument appropriate for identifying the nature of parental experiences, practices and concerns regarding their children’s internet use; (3) to administer the survey in a reliable and ethically-sensitive manner to national samples of internet users aged 9-16, and their parents, in member states; (4) to analyse the results systematically so as to identify both core findings and more complex patterns among findings on a national and comparative basis; (5) to disseminate the findings in a timely manner to a wide range of relevant stakeholders nationally, across Europe, and internationally; (6) to identify and disseminate key recommendations relevant to the development of safety awareness initiatives in Europe; (7) to identify any remaining knowledge gaps and methodological lessons learned, to inform future projects regarding the promotion of safer use of the internet and new online technologies; (8) to benefit from, sustain the visibility of, and further enhance the knowledge generated by, the EU Kids Online network.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The mixed methods data collection &lt;i&gt;United Kingdom Children Go Online, 2003-2005 &lt;/i&gt; (UKCGO) is also held at the UK Data Archive under study number 5475. The study conducted an investigation of 9-19 year olds' use of the internet between 2003 and 2005 in the United Kingdom. Work was conducted with girls and boys of different ages and socio-economic backgrounds across the UK in order to ask how the internet may be transforming, or may itself be shaped by, family life, peer networks and education.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information can be obtained from the project's web site &lt;a href="http://www.eukidsonline.net/" title=" EU Kids Online"&gt;EU Kids Online&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprise Finance Monitor, 2011-2024
title: SME Finance Monitor

description: &lt;p&gt;This survey is commissioned by the Business Finance Taskforce to provide an independent and authoritative report into the key issues of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) Finance. 4,500 telephone interviews are conducted per quarter, across the UK (5,000 prior to 2016), with a carefully structured sample of SMEs by size, sector and region.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The survey explores the demand for external funding amongst SMEs and the response to requests for funding made to banks in the last 12 months. It also asks for future finance needs and assesses business confidence, growth, and barriers to growth for the future, as well as the impact of a lending experience on the overall banking relationship. As well as identifying the proportion of SMEs that have approached a lender for external finance, the survey identified those who would have liked to apply but have not, the barriers to such an application, and the impact of the decision not to seek funding on business performance. A wide range of business demographics are collected to allow for sub-group analysis by criteria such as age of business, external risk rating, type of facility requested, and the 'formality' of the business (planning, HR policies, importing, exporting etc). The intention is for this to become the definitive data set on this topic for banks, government, business organisations and other interested parties, including academics. It is hoped it will be used to provide answers, obviate the need for similar quantitative research, and provide the starting point for spin-off projects into specific aspects of SME Finance.

title: Wellcome Trust Monitors, 2009-
title: Wellcome Trust Monitor Wave 1; Health and Medicine: Now and the Future

description: The &lt;i&gt;Wellcome Trust Monitor&lt;/i&gt; is a unique survey of UK adults' (and in some waves, young people's) views around science and biomedical research. The findings are representative of the UK population and provide fresh and significant insights to inform science communication practice and how research priorities might be shaped, building a better understanding of the social context of biomedical research. The survey is repeated every three years and a large proportion of the questions recur in each wave. The aim of this tracking survey is to build a high-quality evidence base that explores trends and variations across time on both general scientific and medical themes and specific societal issues. This robust study also seeks to develop a more systematic approach to describing and understanding current interest in, attitudes towards and knowledge of science and biomedical research. There is flexibility within each wave to include a number of additional questions to explore new and topical areas of interest. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
 The &lt;i&gt; Wellcome Trust Monitor 1, 2009&lt;/i&gt; is the first survey in the series and was conducted in in 2009 by the National Centre for Social Research. This was a baseline survey, designed with repetition in mind. The aim is to measure continuity and change in public attitudes, awareness and understanding in this area.&lt;br&gt;

title: Surveys of Teachers, 2004-2010

description: The General Teaching Council for England (GTCE) commissioned six independent surveys of the views and experiences of the teaching profession between 2004 and 2010. The surveys were conducted annually, with the exception of 2008, when no survey was undertaken. The surveys formed part of the evidence base which informed GTCE policy and its advice to the Secretary of State for Education. The GTCE closed in 2012.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The principal focus of the GTCE surveys were as follows:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;2004: key challenges and teachers’ aspirations for the future&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2005: continuing professional development, personalised learning, assessment and developments in education&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2006: teaching and learning, continuing professional development, equality, assessment and developments in their own careers and in education more widely&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2007: pupil achievement, continuing professional development, career plans, and awareness of and training on equalities&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2009: teacher accountability and its purposes, and also how teachers maintain and improve their professional knowledge and practice through CPD; and&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2010: what teachers do to inform and improve their practice&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Random samples of approximately 10,000 teachers were drawn from the GTCE's Register of Teachers. Response rates varied up to 42%. A booster sample of teachers from black and minority ethnic (BME) backgrounds was added to certain surveys, to help ensure statistically-valid results for this group. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Data Availability&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br&gt; Users should note that the UK Data Archive only holds quantitative data files for survey years 2007, 2009 and 2010. For 2004-2006, results tables are included in the survey reports (see Documentation table below). There was no survey in 2008.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The &lt;a href="http://www.gtce.org.uk/" title="General Teaching Council for England "&gt;GTCE&lt;/a&gt; website has now closed, but lists locations where reports and publications are now held. The &lt;a href="http://www.nfer.ac.uk/nfer/index.cfm" title="National Foundation for Educational Research"&gt;NFER&lt;/a&gt; website also includes information about some of the survey years.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: British Crime Survey 2007-2008: Unrestricted Access Teaching Dataset
title: UK Data Service Open/Unrestricted Access Teaching Datasets

description:    The &lt;i&gt;British Crime Survey 2007-2008: Unrestricted Access Teaching Dataset&lt;/i&gt; is based on the &lt;i&gt;British Crime Survey, 2007-2008&lt;/i&gt; (available from the UK Data Archive under SN 6066) and constitutes real data which are used by the Home Office and are behind many media headlines. The teaching dataset is a subset which has been subjected to certain simplifications and additions for the purpose of learning and teaching. (Note that the main &lt;i&gt;British Crime Survey&lt;/i&gt; has now become the &lt;i&gt;Crime Survey for England and Wales&lt;/i&gt;, but titles of older studies in the series remain the same.) &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The main differences are:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;only respondents who completed Module B (attitudes to the Criminal Justice System) of the BCS, 2007-2008 are included&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the number of variables has been reduced&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;weighting has been simplified&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;a reduced codebook is provided&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;additional continuous variables have been created (using factor analysis of pre-existing variables) in order to facilitate their use in quantitative methods classes&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; Further information is available in the study documentation (below) which includes a dataset user guide and additional notes for teachers. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Differences between the unrestricted dataset and the standard access BCS teaching dataset&lt;/i&gt;:&lt;br&gt;
Note that SN 6561, the &lt;i&gt;British Crime Survey 2007-2008: Teaching Dataset&lt;/i&gt; contains a larger subset of BCS 2007-2008 variables than the unrestricted version, and is only available to registered users of the UK Data Service.&lt;br&gt;

title: Assessing and Communicating Animal Disease Risks for Countryside Users, 2007-2010

description: &lt;p&gt;The study is part of the Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) programme.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Many people take pleasure from activities in forests and wild lands in the UK and others are being encouraged to participate. Unfortunately, there are risks and one of the most insidious is the possibility (albeit tiny) of acquiring a disease from wild animals; for example, ticks can be vectors of the bacterial infection leading to Lyme Disease. Both diagnosis and treatment can be problematic so prevention of acquiring such disease is highly desirable. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Surprisingly little is known about how best to warn countryside users about the potential for disease without scaring them away or spoiling their enjoyment. Answering such questions was the goal of this project, and required the integration of a diverse set of scientific skills, and an understanding of the views of those who manage countryside, those who have contracted zoonotic diseases and those who access the land. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;This project combined knowledge from three strands of work, namely risk assessment, risk perception and communication, and scenario analysis. The study sites were selected to provide a range of environmental conditions and countryside use. Peri-urban parkland, accessible lowland forest and heath and remote upland forest were chosen as represented by Richmond Park on the fringe of Greater London, the New Forest in Southern England, and Exmoor in South West England.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Further information for this study may be found through the &lt;a href="https://www.researchcatalogue.esrc.ac.uk/grants/RES-229-25-0007/read" target="_blank"&gt;ESRC Research Catalogue webpage: Assessing the potential risk of, and possible responses to, zoonotic diseases.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://relu.data-archive.ac.uk/explore-data/search-browse/project/?ID=RES-229-25-0007" title="RELU Knowledge Portal: Assessing and communicating animal disease risks for countryside users"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

title: DECC Low Emissions R&D Survey, 2008: Secure Access
title: Survey of Research and Development Activity to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions; DECC R&#038;D Survey; Survey of Low Carbon Innovation

description: The purpose of the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) &lt;i&gt;Low Emissions R&#038;D Survey, 2008&lt;/i&gt; was to collect information on Research and Development (R&#038;D) undertaken to develop material, products and processes with the main purpose of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The survey covered both privately and publicly funded low carbon innovation, surveying the top 4,000 innovators in the country. The survey examined the main focus of R&#038;D investment in new products and services relating to:&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;lowering energy consumption&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;renewable energy&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;reducing cost of established low energy consumption technology&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;reducing agricultural greenhouse gas emissions&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;second generation biofuels&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;low carbon enabling products or technologies&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;nuclear energy&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The survey covered investment in low carbon R&#038;D, as well as in later stage demonstration and deployment.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; With a 50% response rate, the survey provides only an indication of investment levels, and care should be taken when comparing with data based on different levels of response.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; These data contain Inter-Departmental Business Register reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together.

title: Quarterly Fuels Inquiry, 1998-2023: Secure Access
title: QFI; Quarterly Fuels Survey

description: The &lt;i&gt;Quarterly Fuels Inquiry&lt;/i&gt; (QFI) is a quarterly survey among a panel of manufacturing plants. The survey is managed by ONS on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). Using this it is possible to calculate sectorial energy prices which are reported in publications such as Quarterly Energy Prices. This is the first external research study which had access to this data at micro level. It spans a period from 1993 to 2015. The inquiry is statutory, being conducted under Section 1 of the Statistics of Trade Act 1947.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The aim of the inquiry is to collect data on the prices paid by small, medium and large industrial fuel consumers. The data by consumption band, available through QFI, are the only data of their kind available for the UK energy market. As such it allows cost comparisons to be made between various fuel types and between large and small users. These data are important in determining whether price movements for large and small users have been comparable and therefore providing data to examine any possible price discrimination in the fuel products. QFI data are widely used both within government and industry and are considered a vital source of data. The survey is used by officials and ministers to monitor trends in industrial prices, particularly for gas and electricity, and by companies as price escalators in fuel purchasing contracts.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;

title: Multiple Exclusion Homelessness across the United Kingdom: a Quantitative Survey

description: &lt;i&gt;Multiple Exclusion Homelessness across the United Kingdom, 2010&lt;/i&gt; provides a statistically robust account of the nature and patterns of multiple exclusion homelessness (MEH) across the United Kingdom (UK). People have experienced MEH if they have been 'homeless' (including experience of temporary/unsuitable accommodation as well as sleeping rough) and have also experienced one or more of the following other domains of 'deep social exclusion': 'institutional care' (prison, local authority care, mental health hospitals or wards); 'substance misuse' (drug, alcohol, solvent or gas misuse); or participation in 'street culture activities' (begging, street drinking, 'survival' shoplifting or sex work).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The study involved a 'census' survey of users of 'low threshold' services (such as street outreach teams, drop in services, day centres, direct access accommodation, soup runs etc.) in seven urban locations throughout the UK, followed by extended interviews with a sample of people who had experienced MEH.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information can be found on the ESRC &lt;a href="http://www.esrc.ac.uk/my-esrc/grants/RES-188-25-0023-A/read" title="Multiple Exclusion Homelessness Across the UK: A Quantitative Survey"&gt;Multiple Exclusion Homelessness Across the UK: A Quantitative Survey&lt;/a&gt; Award webpage.&lt;br&gt;

title: United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Study; UKHLS

description: &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Understanding Society&lt;/span&gt;, (the UK Household Longitudinal Study), which began in 2009, is conducted by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex and the survey research organisations Verian Group (formerly Kantar Public) and NatCen. It builds on and incorporates, the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), which began in 1991.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Understanding Society Innovation Panel&lt;/span&gt; is designed for experimental and methodological research relevant to longitudinal surveys. As far as practical its design, content, and data collection procedures are similar to the main stage Understanding Society survey. It is a multi-topic household survey representative of the population of Great Britain. Data collection takes place annually using computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI), web surveys and telephone interviewing (CATI) to a small extent. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For details of the main Understanding Society study, please see study number 6614.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Understanding Society: Innovation Panel: Special Licence Access, Local Authority District dataset contains Local Authority District (LAD) geographic variables, including both tiers for two-tier authorities, for each wave of Innovation Panel to date, and a household identification serial number for file matching to the main Understanding Society: Innovation Panel data (held at the UK Data Archive under SN 6849). These data have more restrictive access conditions than those available under the standard End User Licence (see 'Access data' tab for more information).&lt;/p&gt;
