It is a household survey conducted in England, tracking the latest trends and developments across areas key to encouraging social action and empowering communities, including:<ul><li>volunteering and charitable giving;</li><li>views about the local area;</li><li>community cohesion and belonging;</li><li>community empowerment and participation;</li><li>influencing local decisions and affairs; and </li><li>subjective well-being</li></ul>Up to 2015-16, the survey used a face-to-face methodology. Following thorough testing, the CLS moved to an online and paper mixed-method approach from 2016-17 onwards (a paper self-completion questionnaire being available as an alternative to the online survey), with an end to previous current face-to-face method. The objectives of the survey are to: The objectives of the survey are to:<ul><li> provide robust, nationally representative data on behaviours and attitudes within communities to inform and direct policy and action in these areas;</li><li>to provide data of value to all users, including public bodies, external stakeholders and the public; and</li><li>underpin further research and debate on building stronger communities</li></ul>The <i>Community Life Survey</i> incorporates a small number of priority measures from the <i>Citizenship Survey</i>, which ran from 2001-2011, conducted by the Department for Communities and Local Government. These measures were incorporated in the <i>Community Life Survey</i> so that trends in these issues could continue to be tracked over time. (The full <i>Citizenship Survey</i> series is held at the UK Data Archive under GNs 33347 and 33474.)<br> <br> Further information may be found on the gov.uk <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/community-life-survey" title="Community Life Survey" target="_blank">Community Life Survey</a> website.<br> <br>The 2014-15 survey covers July 2014 to April 2015 and forms 'Official Statistics', meaning that it meets the high standards of quality set out by the <a href="http://www.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/assessment/code-of-practice/" title="Code of Practice for Official Statistics">Code of Practice for Official Statistics</a>. <br> <br> <b>End User Licence and Special Licence data</b><br> Users should note that there are two versions of each <i>Community Life Survey</i> dataset. One is available under the standard End User Licence (EUL) agreement, and the other is a Special Licence (SL) version. The SL version contains more detailed variables relating to: social class; ethnicity; religion; sexual identity and lower level geographical classifications (see Main Topics section for details). <br> <br> The SL data have more restrictive access conditions than those made available under the standard EUL. Prospective users of the SL version will need to complete an extra application form and demonstrate to the data owners exactly why they need access to the additional variables in order to get permission to use that version. Therefore, users are strongly advised to order the standard version of the data.<br> <br> The standard EUL version of the <i>Community Life Survey, 2014-2015</i> dataset is held under SN 7836.<br> <br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR><div>The main topics include measures that are key to understanding our society and local communities such as volunteering, charitable giving, neighbourhood, civic engagement, social action and subjective well-being.</div><div><br></div><div>The <span style="font-style: italic;">Community Life Survey, 2014-2015: Special Licence Access</span> data file includes the following extra variables:</div><div><br></div><ul><li>SOC2010 (SOC2010)</li><li>SOC2010 Sub-Major Group (SOC10smg)</li><li>Ethnic group: 6 categories (Ethnic6)</li><li>Ethnic group: 11 categories (Ethnic11a)</li><li>Respondents Ethnic origin and age (excludes Mixed/Other) (Rethage9a)</li><li>Sex within Ethnicity: 11 categories (E11sex1)</li><li>Sex within Ethnicity: 10 categories (E5sex1)</li><li>Whether practising for each religion (Actrel)</li><li>Respondent religion: 7 categories (Jewish included in other)(Relig7)</li><li>Practice status for each religion (Relstat)</li><li>Ethno-Religious groups: 11 categories (E11Relig1)</li><li>Respondent sexual identity: 3 categories (Sid2)</li><li>ONS Ward Classification : Subgroup (2001 Wards) (Wrdsubgpg)</li><li>ONS District Level Classification: Subgroup (2011) (Lasubgpg11)</li><li>Output Area Classification - Subgroup (76 categories) (2011 Census definition) (oa_sub11)</li><li>Rural and Urban Area Classification 2004 (Rural)</li><li>PSU Code (PSU)</li><li>Sample stratum (FinalStratum)</li></ul> WORKING CONDITIONSSOCIAL CAPITALPETITIONINGPOLITICAL PARTICIPATIONNEWS ITEMSSOCIAL DISADVANTAGEFAMILY MEMBERSVOLUNTARY WORKHOUSING TENUREEMPLOYERSDISABILITIESCITIZEN PARTICIPATIONCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONLANGUAGESCITIZENSHIPCOMMUNITIESEMPLOYMENTPARTICIPATIONINTERPERSONAL RELATIONSSOCIAL PROTESTTIMEINFORMAL CARESOCIAL LIFEINTERNET USEHOUSEHOLDSGOVERNING BOARDS (EDUCATION)SPECIAL CONSTABLESMAGISTRATESRELIGIOUS ATTENDANCEDONATIONS TO CHARITYCARE OF DEPENDANTSHOURS OF WORKFUND-RAISINGLANGUAGE SKILLSRELIGIOUS AFFILIATIONCOMMUNITY COHESIONVOLUNTARY ORGANIZATIONSPERSONAL CONTACTINFORMATION SOURCESECONOMIC ACTIVITYUNWAGED WORKERSTRUSTCOMMITTEESCHILDRENETHNIC GROUPSCOMMUNITY IDENTIFICATIONSOCIAL INTEGRATIONLANGUAGES USED AT HOMEMASS MEDIA USEENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENTSEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMMESDEBILITATIVE ILLNESSINCOMESATISFACTIONADULTSGENDERCLUBSNEIGHBOURSURBAN AREASRURAL AREASQUALIFICATIONSAGECRIMES AGAINST PERSONSCHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONSMARITAL STATUSDECISION MAKINGEQUALITY BEFORE THE LAWCITIZENSHIP SKILLSATTITUDESVOLUNTARY WELFARE ORGANIZATIONSSOCIAL ISSUESLANDLORDSCOMMUNITY ACTIONSUPERVISORY STATUSPOLITICAL INFLUENCEEMPLOYMENT HISTORYHOBBIESSOCIAL NETWORKSSELF-EMPLOYEDSTUDENTSSOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUSNEIGHBOURHOODSNEWSPAPER READERSHIPHEADS OF HOUSEHOLDFRIENDSORGANIZATIONSEQUAL OPPORTUNITYPOLITICAL ISSUESCOMMUNITY LIFEEMPLOYEESVOTING BEHAVIOURCIVIL RENEWALCOHABITATIONSOCIAL SUPPORTJOB HUNTINGVISITS (PERSONAL)MEMBERSHIPRESIDENTIAL MOBILITYMOBILE COMMUNICATIONLOCAL COMMUNITY FACILITIESRECREATIONAL FACILITIESCULTURAL FACILITIESACCESS TO FACILITIESELECTRONIC MAIL en 2015-11-02T09:59:35Z Dataset <a href="https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/information-management/re-using-public-sector-information/uk-government-licensing-framework/crown-copyright/" target="_blank">© Crown copyright</a>.
