title: English Business Survey, 2011-2012: Secure Access
title: EBS

description: The &lt;i&gt;English Business Survey&lt;/i&gt; (EBS) is commissioned by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) to provide a monthly assessment of business perceptions of current, past and expected economic and business conditions in each English region. A detailed understanding of businesses' perceptions and plans across England will inform the Government's economic growth and rebalancing agenda.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The sample for the EBS is drawn from the Inter-departmental Business Register (IDBR). The primary objective is to achieve a sample that is as close as possible to being proportionate to the employment distribution within England. The EBS is conducted at the level of the workplace (i.e. individual sites within an enterprise, such as a factory, shop or office) rather than at the level of the business or enterprise. The sample is therefore selected at this level as well. The sample of workplaces is selected from across all industry sectors, including public sector and not-for-profit organisations.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information on the EBS and monthly statistical releases derived from the survey can be found on the BIS &lt;a href="http://www.bis.gov.uk/analysis/statistics/sub-national-statistics/ebsurvey" title="English Business Survey"&gt;English Business Survey&lt;/a&gt; website.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Linking to other business studies&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; These data contain IDBR reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together. Researchers may consider applying for other business data to assist their research.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The majority of observations only contain IDBR plant identifiers (LUref). Therefore, it may not be possible to ascertain plants that belong to the same enterprise. Therefore, we recommend that users also apply for access to the &lt;i&gt;Business Structure Database&lt;/i&gt; (SN 6697), which will allow users to link observations to their parent enterprises.&lt;br/&gt;

title: Chief Executive Officer Careers, 1992-2006

description: The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Careers data assemble a comprehensive picture of the tenure of CEOs in large UK companies by examining all companies who appeared in the FTSE350 between 1992 and 2006 and examining the careers of the CEOs of those companies in all cases where a career terminated in one of those years. This resulted in a list of well over 1,000 careers (N=1,817).&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; In assembling the CEO Careers Data, the first task was to identify the list of companies to be considered. This was done by taking all companies listed as members of the FTSE350 as of December in each year from 1992 through 2006. Once a company entered the project definition of FTSE350, it continued to be included in the tracked sample even though it subsequently dropped out of the FTSE350 (in an effort to avoid survivor bias). For each of these companies the Annual Report was used as the principal source of information regarding the tenure of the CEO from the appointment date through to the resignation date (and this was defined as the time in the job as CEO, as distinct from time in the office of director, although these are nearly always coincident). &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Annual reports for recent years could (in surviving companies) be obtained from each company's website, but in a large number of instances it was necessary to revert to 'Thomson OneBanker' and 'OSIRIS' to obtain these documents. For other cases (usually more distant years) the Companies House Direct facility was used, which allowed annual reports to be downloaded. These sources allowed the collection of data on the start and end date of the tenure of all CEOs observed to complete a period as CEO in any of the sample of companies during the selected years. This involved following the CEO back to the first year in office.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information may be found on the ESRC &lt;a href="http://www.esrc.ac.uk/my-esrc/grants/RES-062-23-0904/read" title="Paying for performance: Realized pay and performance in CEO careers; an examination of outcomes"&gt;Paying for performance: Realized pay and performance in CEO careers; an examination of outcomes&lt;/a&gt; award page.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Modelling the Impacts of the Water Framework Directive, 2008
title: ChREAM

description: &lt;p&gt;The study is part of the Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) programme.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Modelling the Impacts of the European Union Water Framework Directive&lt;/i&gt; (Catchment Hydrology, Resources, Economics and Management: Integrated Modelling of Water Framework Directive Impacts upon Rural Land Use and Farm Incomes - ChReam) project brought together hydrology, economics and other disciplines to examine both the physical impacts of the EU Water Framework Directive upon rivers and how the changes in land use needed to achieve a reduction in pollutants in water are likely to impact upon already fragile farming communities. A variety of innovative techniques were applied to attempt to value the likely benefits of improving outdoor water quality. The UK Data Archive holds data from a structured survey conducted as part of the project, of waterside recreational visitors, in particular anglers, exploring preferences and associated economic values for likely changes to the water environment arising from EU Water Framework Directive implementation. &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-227-25-0024/read" target="_blank"&gt;ESRC Research Catalogue webpage: Catchment Hydrology, Resources, Economics and Management (ChREAM): Integrated Modelling of WFD Impacts upon Rural Land Use &amp; Farm Incomes.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

title: Developing a Catchment Management Template for the Protection of Water Resources: Exploiting Experience from the UK, Eastern USA and Nearby Europe, 2007-2010
title: Catchment Management for Protection of Water Resources

description: &lt;p&gt;The study is part of the Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) programme.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Water pollution poses difficult challenges for policy, control strategies and scientific assessment. This project aimed to investigate how best to integrate and extend the scientific and social accomplishments of innovative catchment management programmes in the USA, Australia and other European countries to catchments in the UK. This built on the work of Capacity Building Award RES-224-25-0031 (Economic and Social Research Council) which successfully formed a network of researchers and water professionals capable of investigating integrated solutions for water resources protection.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The project sought to derive a catchment management 'template' to compile and assimilate scientific understanding and governance procedures as tested in decision making and practice in catchments. This demonstrates how: to integrate scientific investigation with policy, governance and legal provisions; foster decision-making and implementation at the appropriate governance level to resolve conflicts; and share best practice.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The project conducted an international comparative analysis of catchment programmes with a focus on collaborative governance, local coordination and action, and tools for assessment, planning and knowledge exchange. Two catchments in England were investigated as case studies against which international lessons were tested: the River Tamar (Devon and Cornwall) and the River Thurne (Norfolk Broads). The project researched the current issues, water quality targets, pollution mitigation potential and governance systems in these two catchments. Results were integrated with the findings of the wider comparative study of governance arrangements, leading to the 'template'. There was also a higher level international analysis of land and water governance regimes, and of the transferability of policies, approaches and measures. A survey was conducted of collaborative governance in England and Wales, including the emergence of community-based catchment groups.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The UK Data Archive holds quantitative data from the catchment group organisation survey and the C-Plus farmer survey elements of the project, and qualitative data in the form of: a file of combined transcripts from telephone interviews conducted with seven respondents representing statutory groups for environmental and catchment management; and reports from 11 project stakeholder workshops. &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-229-25-0009/read" target="_blank"&gt;ESRC Research Catalogue webpage: Developing a Catchment Management Template for the Protection of Water Resources: Exploiting Experience from the UK.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

title: Growing Risk? The Potential Impact of Plant Disease on Land Use and the United Kingdom Rural Economy, 2007-2011
title: Assessing the Potential Rural Impact of Plant Disease

description: &lt;p&gt;The study is part of the Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) programme.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;UK crop production is vulnerable to plant diseases that directly affect crop yields, disrupt the food chain and impact on land use and social infrastructure. Diseases of non-food plants perturb our natural environment. Modern farming is heavily influenced by science and technology and includes measures taken to prevent, diagnose, control and deal with the consequences of disease. Recent sociological conceptions of ‘risk society’ argue that we are now faced with ‘manufactured risks’ created by our use of technology and knowledge on the natural world. Until now, a detailed study of current and future risks posed by crop and non-crop diseases to land use and the rural economy has not been conducted. The aim of this Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) funded project is to develop an interdisciplinary appraisal of the potential impacts of plant diseases and to consider aspects of an holistic approach to policy formulation. Such an initiative is very timely given the recent wave of ‘future studies’ by Think Tanks and various rural government departments to better understand potential impacts and thus avoid creating a scenario where farming and food production are regarded as an industry of growing uncertainty and risk. A balanced programme of work has been devised to include case study examples of contemporary diseases, including diseases transmitted either primarily by trade dissemination (Ramorum dieback and mushroom virus X) or by natural transmission (potato blight and Septoria/tan spot of cereals), and will include both food and non-food crops.&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-229-25-0013/read" target="_blank" style=""&gt;ESRC Research Catalogue webpage: Growing risk?

title: Information and Educational Decisions, 2010-2011

description: There is a high average economic benefit from staying on in education and particularly going to university. Yet a high proportion of people leave full-time education at a young age. One reason for this may be a lack of adequate information about the consequences of educational decisions at an appropriate time.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The objective of this research was to test whether provision of information on the economic costs and benefits of educational decisions affects the knowledge, expectations and choices of students when they are at school. This was tested by an 'information campaign' that was implemented in a random sample of schools in London. All Year 10 students in 54 participating schools were surveyed on two occasions (8-12 weeks apart). In half of these schools, an 'information campaign' was delivered between the two surveys. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; The main findings of the research include the conclusion that the 'information campaign' significantly improved knowledge in treatment schools relative to the comparison group. To some extent this led to an improved perception of the benefits and affordability of staying on in education. However, it did not affect subject choice at A-level or intentions to go to university. Over the period of the study, the government announced a three-fold increase to university tuition fees. The project analysis suggested a reaction to this, depending on when the surveys took place in relation to media reports. This research demonstrates both the usefulness and limitations of 'information campaigns' and the influence of the media. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information may be found on the ESRC &lt;a href="http://www.esrc.ac.uk/my-esrc/grants/RES-061-25-0253/read" title="Information and Educational Decisions"&gt;Information and Educational Decisions&lt;/a&gt; award webpage and the project's &lt;a href="http://www.whats4.me.uk/" title="Whats4me"&gt;Whats4me&lt;/a&gt; website.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Parliamentary Socialisation: the Learning Process of New Members of Parliament, 1992-2001

description: This project studies how UK Members of Parliament (MPs) learn about their job and whether and to what extent they are socialised into various parliamentary roles and types of parliamentary activity. The research was based on surveys of newly-elected MPs and a control group of longer-serving MPs in the 1992-1997 and 1997-2001 Parliaments and an analysis of their parliamentary behaviour, plus interviews with selected MPs, parliamentary and party officials. The research found that MPs face a steep learning curve on first being elected, but that they are also subject to significant socialisation, driven mainly by their parties.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Further information about the study may be found on the ESRC &lt;a href="http://www.esrc.ac.uk/my-esrc/grants/R000222470/read" title="Parliamentary Socialisation: The Learning Process of New MPs"&gt;Parliamentary Socialisation: The Learning Process of New MPs&lt;/a&gt; award webpage. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Full results are published in: Rush, M. and Giddings, P.

title: Active People Survey, 2005-2016
title: APS5

description: The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Active People Survey&lt;/span&gt; commenced in October 2005 and was commissioned by Sports England. The primary objective of the survey was to measure levels of participation in sport and active recreation and its contribution to improving the health of the nation. Sport and active recreation included walking and cycling for recreation in addition to more traditional formal and informal spots. When measuring sports participation the survey not only recorded the type of activity but also the frequency, intensity and duration of the activity. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Active People Survey&lt;/span&gt; was replaced by the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Active Lives Survey&lt;/span&gt; in November 2015.  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Active Lives&lt;/span&gt; is a new survey with a different methodology and intended to measure different outcomes from those in the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Active People Survey&lt;/span&gt;, however there are similarities as it was important that data could be reproduced on some of the key measures.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;More general information can be found on the Sport England &lt;a href="https://www.sportengland.org/research/active-lives-survey/" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Active Lives Survey&lt;/a&gt; webpage and the &lt;a href="https://activelives.sportengland.org/" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Active Lives Online&lt;/a&gt; website, including reports and data tables.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; For the second edition (October 2015), the data file was replaced with a new version to reflect changes in the Sport England core measure, the ‘1x30’ indicator. The documentation has also been updated.

title: Quarterly Labour Force Survey, January - March, 2011: Unrestricted Access Teaching Dataset
title: UK Data Service Open/Unrestricted Access Teaching Datasets

description:    The &lt;i&gt;Quarterly Labour Force Survey, January - March, 2011: Unrestricted Access Teaching Dataset&lt;/i&gt; is based on the &lt;i&gt;Quarterly Labour Force Survey, January-March 2011&lt;/i&gt; (see SN 6782) and constitutes real data which are used by government, business and other organisations. The teaching dataset is a subset which has been subjected to certain simplifications and additions for the purpose of learning and teaching. &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The main differences are:&lt;li&gt;the teaching dataset contains a 30% random sample of the main QLFS sample aged 16 years and over; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the number of variables has been reduced;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;a reduced user guide with codebook is provided&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;some variables have been recoded and their level of detail reduced for the teaching dataset.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Further information is available in the study documentation (see below).&lt;br&gt;

title: Commercial Victimisation Surveys, 2002-
title: CVS

description: &lt;div&gt;The &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Commercial Victimisation Survey&lt;/span&gt; (CVS) is a survey of the extent of crime and crime related issues experienced by business premises in England and Wales. It provides additional detail on the extent of crime to be used alongside the other main sources of information on crime. These are the &lt;a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=200009" target="_blank"&gt;Crime Survey for England and Wales&lt;/a&gt; (CSEW) (formerly the British Crime Survey), which covers crimes against private individuals and households, and the &lt;a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-recorded-crime-open-data-tables" target="_blank"&gt;Police Recorded Crime&lt;/a&gt; statistics, which cover crimes reported to the police. In common with the CSEW, the CVS also includes crimes that are not reported to the police. The Police Recorded Crime data tables are available from the GOV.UK website.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The CVS was previously run as a standalone survey in 1994 and again in 2002. The CVS was then run as an annual publication from 2012 onwards. A break occurred from 2019 to 2021 where CVS underwent a re-design following a consultation, where the coverage of the survey was expanded to cover all commercial business premises. A standalone CVS was run in 2021, covering only the Wholesale and Retail sector, to provide insights on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Further information on the CVS, with links to findings by year, can also be found on the GOV.UK &lt;a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/crime-against-businesses" target="_blank"&gt;Crimes against businesses statistics&lt;/a&gt; webpage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

title: Primary School Food Survey, 2009

description: From September 2008, all primary schools in England were required by law to meet the new food-based and nutrient-based standards for school food provision. The School Food Trust subsequently carried out a survey in England to assess the impact of the standards on catering provision and food selection and consumption by pupils eating a school lunch. In addition, the food consumption of pupils eating packed lunches was evaluated. Fieldworkers recorded the number of portions and portion weights of food served at lunchtime, the food choices of pupils and the weight of any food not eaten. Foods from packed lunches were weighed prior to consumption and leftover weights were recorded. Data was coded by nutritionists using the School Food Trust's version of the Food Standards Agency Nutrient Databank. Food data were recorded by food name and food code and with an associated nutrient profile.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; A nationally representative sample of 139 primary schools in England took part in the survey. Information on food provision at lunchtime was collected, along with food selection and consumption details of pupils aged 4-12 years having school lunches and eating packed lunches respectively. Questionnaires were also distributed to head teachers and caterers. The data were collected between February and April 2009, i.e. 6-8 months after the expectation that all primary schools catering provision would be fully compliant with the new standards for school food. The survey found that school lunches are substantially much healthier than when they were last surveyed in 2005, and that they were generally more healthy than packed lunches. Further information may be found on the &lt;a href="www.schoolfoodtrust.org.uk" title="School Food Trust"&gt;School Food Trust&lt;/a&gt; website.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;

title: Urban Population Database, 1801-1911

description: This data collection uses Census returns to construct a consistent time series of population for urban centres in England and Wales 1801-1911. This allows the urban development and structure of England and Wales to be analysed, and provides a resource to other researchers seeking to make ready comparisons of other information with urban development across the nineteenth century. It has been derived from the work of three previous researchers: (1) Chris Law (1967) originally prepared it; (2) Brian Robson (1973) developed the data further and transcribed Law’s data and preserved it, and also added information on some smaller settlements for years before they became ‘urban’ under Law’s criteria; (3) Jack Langton (2000) undertook a different study for the 17th century to 1841 using the same basic methods and definitions as Law-Robson for 1801 and 1841 and corrected various errors and omissions in the Law-Robson material; he also disaggregated the Law-Robson data for the period to 1841 to reflect the fact that many places had not coalesced into large towns by this date. The database here combines these three sources. It was prepared by Bob Bennett (2011) for a study of local economies and chamber of commerce business representation.
