Description:	<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P>The <i>Citizenship Survey</i> (known in the field as the <i>Communities Study</i>) ran from 2001 to 2010-2011. It began as the 'Home Office Citizenship Survey' (HOCS) before the responsibility moved to the new Communities and Local Government department (DCLG) in May 2006. The survey provided an evidence base for the work of DCLG, principally on the issues of community cohesion, civic engagement, race and faith, and volunteering. The survey was used extensively for developing policy and for performance measurement. It was also used more widely, by other government departments and external stakeholders to help inform their work around the issues covered in the survey. The survey was conducted on a biennial basis from 2001-2007. It moved to a continuous design in 2007 which means that data became available on a quarterly basis from April of that year. Quarter one data were collected between April and June; quarter two between July and September; quarter three between October and December and quarter four between January and March. Once collection for the four quarters was completed, a full aggregated dataset was made available, and the larger sample size allowed more detailed analysis.<br> <br> In January 2011, the DCLG announced that the <i>Citizenship Survey</i> was to close. As part of the drive to deliver cost savings across government and to reduce the fiscal deficit, research budgets were closely scrutinised to identify where savings can be made. For this reason, and the belief that priority data from this survey could either be dropped; collected less frequently; or collected via other means, the survey was cancelled. Fieldwork concluded on 31 March 2011, followed by publication of reports in the months after analysis of that data. Further information about the survey, including links to publications, can be found on the National Archives webarchive page for the <a href="http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120919132719/www.communities.gov.uk/communities/research/citizenshipsurvey/" title="Citizenship Survey">Citizenship Survey</a>. The <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/the-future-of-the-citizenship-survey" title="Consultation outcome: the future of the citizenship survey">Consultation outcome: the future of the citizenship survey</a> statement can be viewed on the gov.uk website. The <i>Community Life Survey</i>, (held under GN 33475), which began in 2012-2013 and is conducted by the Cabinet Office, incorporates a small number of priority measures from the <i>Citizenship Survey</i>, in order that trends in these issues<br> can continue to be tracked over time. For these measures the <i>Community Life Survey</i> findings are comparable to the <i>Citizenship Survey</i> findings.<br> <br> <br> <b>UK Data Archive holdings: End User Licence and Secure Access</b><br> The Archive holds standard End User Licence (EUL) versions of the complete Citizenship Survey series from 2001-2011, held under SNs 4754, 5087, 5367, 5739, 6388, 6733 and 7111, and Secure Access versions of the 2005, 2007-2008, 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 and 2010-2011&nbsp;waves (all held under SN 7403).&nbsp; The Secure Access datasets include extra variables that are not available in the standard EUL versions. They cover: more detailed and extensive household and demographic information; more detailed geographies, including Police Force Area, Local Authority Districts, Wards, Middle Layer Super Output Areas (MSOA) and Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOA); more detailed responses to questions covering violent extremism, immigration, and religion; and more detailed administrative variables. Prospective users of the Secure Access version of the Citizenship Survey will need to agree to rigorous Terms and Conditions, including applying for ESRC Accredited Researcher Status and attending a training session, in order to obtain permission to use that version Therefore, users are encouraged to download and inspect the EUL versions of the data prior to ordering the Secure Access versions.<br> <br> <p>The <em>Citizenship Survey, 2007-2008</em> dataset includes a total sample of 14,095 people aged 16 and over, resident in England and Wales. This comprised a core sample of 9,336 people and a minority ethnic boost of 4,759. The minority ethnic boost is required to ensure that sufficient responses are received to enable analysis by detailed ethnic group and religion. The 2007 survey is targeted to achieve 9,600 core interviews and a boost of 5,000 throughout the twelve months in the field. Data for the first quarter of 2007 were collected during April-June, the second quarter during July-September, the third quarter during October-December and the fourth quarter during January-March.</p><p>For the seventh edition (March 2019) some discrepancies within derived have been resolved. <br>The affected variables are Zempmon (Employer volunteering at least once a month); Zempvol (Employer volunteering in last 12 months); XnatidBr (National identity ‐ any British); xNatidDu (National identity ‐ dual any British and any other); and Smain1 to Smain95 (Main Language) ('other' were wrongly coded as Somali). There are no changes to the documentation.<br></p> <B>Main Topics</B>:<BR> <p>The 2007-2008 survey covered:</p> <ul><li>identity and social networks</li><li>feelings about the community, including community cohesion</li><li>trust and influence</li><li>volunteering</li><li>civil renewal</li><li>race and religious prejudice, and perceptions of discrimination</li><li>religion</li><li>social mixing between people of different backgrounds</li><li>values</li><li>demographic and some geo-demographic information</li></ul> <p>Standard Measures:<br> The questionnaire used established questions and classifications where appropriate:</p> <ul><li>demographic questions were mostly taken from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) harmonised question booklets</li><li>questions on family relationships were adapted from the <em>General Household Survey</em> (GHS) family relationship grid (the GHS is held at the UK Data Archive under GN 33090)</li><li>the hierarchy of community participation was adapted from the method used in the <em>National Survey of Voluntary Activity, 1997</em> (held under SN 3931)</li><li>Some questions on trust were adapted from the <em>World Values Survey</em> (see under SN 5488) and some from the <em>British Social Attitudes Survey</em> (BSA).</li></ul>
