New data from Ipsos taken April 24th – 28th reveals that two thirds of Britons do not have confidence that the UK Government are running the country with integrity, nor properly, competently and seriously.
Ipsos was commissioned by The Camelot Foundation to conduct research among young people, aged 16 to 21 years, on the meaning of Britishness as a national identity.
The study has been commissioned to bring to the debate young people's perspectives on what a national identity means to them, the relevance it has to their lives and its currency in present day culture.
This report contains the key findings of a research study carried out by Ipsos's Participation Unit to explore theories of influence and consequently to identify a more
meaningful Socio-political Influencer group. It brings together our wealth of data on political activism and places it in the broader context of literature exploring the role of influence in the private and public sectors, in order to understand how a small group of people may have a vital impact on public policy.
This report is the first to map how anti-social behaviour is perceived at a local level across all parts of England and how these views are changing over time. Tailored analysis enables us to identify where perceptions are not as we might expect; in some areas perceptions of anti-social behaviour are better than we would predict, in others they are worse.
Welcome to Frontiers of Performance in Local Government IV: Place Shapers or Shaped by Place? This report is the latest in the Ipsos series which seeks to provide the most recent and meaningful analysis of public perceptions around the performance of local authorities, based on the
Autumn 2006 BVPI General User Satisfaction Survey, undertaken by all English local authorities.
The Commission on Integration and Cohesion (CIC) was established in August 2006 as a fixed-term body (reporting in June 2007), charged with deepening an understanding of community cohesion issues and relevant policy approaches, and developing practical approaches to support community cohesion in local areas.
This research study was commissioned to contribute to the ongoing work of Communities and Local Government and the Commission. It seeks to help understand `what works' in terms of cohesion policy and initiatives by investigating policy and practice in six case-study areas.
Ipsos end of year review covering the main political issues of 2006. This was the year when the government struggled on with public service reform, but hit new lows in terms of public confidence in the NHS (despite levels of satisfaction with actual treatments remaining higher than before). It was a year when, for the first time ever, race and immigration became the key issues that Britons saw facing the country. A year when ratings of both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition fell. A year when, compared to the rest of the G6 countries, Britons were the most negative about their government's handling of crime.
Ipsos uses all major survey methods across our huge range of work. This runs from face-to-face in-home interviewer surveys using probability samples, through telephone surveys using quotas that are designed to reflect the population, to online studies using panels of people who have signed up to take part in surveys.
The report examine different approaches to engagement being used and assesses what works and under which circumstances and to identify transferable features, or ingredients, that can be applied to different policy developments/areas.
