It serves as a successor to the <a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000052">Taking Part</a> survey, which ran for 16 years as a continuous face to face survey. Paper surveys are available for those not digitally engaged. Fieldwork started in October 2021 and it is envisaged that the survey will be a key evidence source for Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and its sectors by providing statistically representative national estimates of adult engagement with the DCMS sectors. The survey’s main objectives are to: <ul> <li>Provide a central, reliable evidence source that can be used to analyse cultural, digital, and sporting engagement, providing a clear picture of why people do or do not engage.</li> <li>Provide data at a county level to meet user needs, including providing evidence for the levelling up agenda.</li> <li>Underpin further research on driving engagement and the value and benefits of engagement.</li></ul>Further information on the survey can be found on the gov.uk <a title="Participation Survey" href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/participation-survey">Participation Survey</a> webpage.
