Each Audit report presents the findings from a public opinion survey, providing detailed commentary on a range of measures that have been chosen as key measures of political engagement. Repeating questions in successive years enables us to chronicle the public’s responses year on year and track the direction and magnitude of change since the Audit was first published in 2004, building trend data on public attitudes to key aspects of our democracy. The Audit looks at core inter-locking areas that are known as vital facets, or 'building blocks', of political engagement. Given the multi-dimensional nature of political engagement, the indicators chosen are not exhaustive, but in capturing aspects of public behaviour, knowledge, opinions, attitudes and values towards politics they help us understand the drivers of political engagement and the relationships between them. Across the Audit series several 'core' indicator questions have been asked each year, supplemented by a range of thematic and topical questions, some of which are re-visited on two- or three-year cycles. Further information about the survey series is available from the Hansard Society <a href="https://www.hansardsociety.org.uk/research/audit-of-political-engagement" title="Audit of Political Engagement">Audit of Political Engagement</a> webpages. The Audit of Political Engagement 14, 2017 was conducted by Ipsos MORI between 2 December 2016 and 15 January 2017 with a representative quota sample of adults aged 18 and over across Great Britain. Booster samples were included to make comparisons between England, Scotland and Wales, and between the white and black and minority ethnic (BME) populations, more statistically reliable. The data can also be weighted to match the national population profile. The 14th Audit took place after the European Union referendum of 23 June 2016 which was the biggest democratic event that has taken place in the 14-year life of this Audit study and one of the biggest in British electoral history.
