^{Data from the re-contact survey should not be compared with previous years of Community Life Survey data because it is a different cohort. The cohort is made up of those who completed the 2018-19 or 2019-20 Community Life Survey and agreed to be re-contacted for follow-up research. While weights and statistical techniques have been applied to correct for this difference, a reasonable margin of error still exists. This report should therefore be used as a standalone product and further analysis should be run separately from the Community Life Survey.}

November 2020 - DCMS Business Impacts of Coronavirus Survey, round 2: business resilience in the arts and music subsectors

This analysis covers business resilience by business size, and business trading status by business size, for the performing arts and music industries, based on the DCMS Coronavirus Business Survey results (Round 2). This was a voluntary business survey, which captured organisations’ responses on how their turnover, costs, workforce and resilience were affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The results presented are based on 3,870 completed responses collected between 17 August and 8 September 2020.

As one purpose of the survey was to highlight the characteristics of organisations in DCMS sectors whose viability was under threat in order to shape further government support, timeliness was essential, and there are some limitations arising from the need for this timely information: - Estimates from the DCMS Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact Business Survey are unweighted (i.e., each business was assigned the same weight regardless of turnover, size or industry) and should be treated with caution when used to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 across the UK economy. - Survey responses through DCMS stakeholder comms are likely to contain an element of self-selection bias. - Due to time constraints, we are yet to undertake any statistical significance testing or provided confidence intervals”

This was a voluntary business survey, which captured organisations’ responses on how their turnover, costs, workforce and resilience were affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The results presented are based on 3,870 completed responses collected between 17 August and 8 September 2020.

The Department for Transport (DfT) put in place emergency measures agreements (EMAs) with privately owned franchised train operating companies (TOCs) to mitigate the financial impacts resulting from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and ensure that rail services could continue to operate.

The EMAs were agreed in March 2020, and took effect from 1 April 2020 with their financial provisions back-dated to 1 March 2020. For the majority of TOCs, the EMA applied until 20 September 2020 and operated as a temporary amendment to the underlying franchise agreement, which remains in place.

From 21 September 2020 onwards, the EMAs were replaced by emergency recovery measures agreements (ERMAs) for the majority of TOCs. The ERMAs are a further temporary amendment to the underlying franchise agreements, and are of varying lengths up to a maximum of around 18 months.

There are some exceptions to these arrangements for certain TOCs. These are described in more depth in the details of operational support payments to franchised passenger rail operators under emergency agreements, which explains how these payments are calculated and made, and process for determining performance scores under EMAs, which outlines how DfT determines EMA performance scores.

Operational support payments

Under both EMAs and ERMAs, the DfT receives revenue collected and pays most operating costs incurred by TOCs through a regular franchise payment, made roughly every 4 weeks. This payment is entirely to fund the ongoing provision of passenger rail services by these operators; none of this money is passed to shareholders.

Management and performance fees

Separately, TOCs can also earn management and performance fees. These are payable retrospectively on receipt of audited statutory accounts covering the period to which the fees relate. In due course, and subject to conditions, they represent earnings that can be passed on to shareholders.

The process of assessing and scoring TOCs’ performance, and determining the management and performance fees payable as a result, has now concluded for the initial EMA period of 1 March 2020 to 20 September 2020.

• Geographic coverage: England
• Frequency of release: Paused during lockdown

Summary

For the period 2-4 November 2020, visits were at 19.3% of the daily average in November over the three previous years.

Museums and galleries closed on 5 November 2020 in compliance with national lockdown measures.

Eight of the DCMS-sponsored museums and galleries were open or partially open to visitors and able to supply data during the week commencing 2 November.

These were the National Museums Liverpool, the Wallace Collection, Imperial War Museums (with the exception of the HMS Belfast), the Science Museum Group, the Natural History Museum, the National Gallery, the V&A and the British Museum. Some venues are unable to supply data on a weekly basis, and others are occasionally unable to supply data in time for publication.

During the period covered by these statistics, some museums were not open every day. The average is adjusted for days that venues are closed, but not for shortened opening hours.

The level of footfall reported reflects a number of factors. These include:

• The restrictions on numbers necessary to allow for social distancing
• Limited opening hours adopted by some museums
• The phased reopening of most of the venues
• The importance of tourist visits. In 2018/19, overseas visitors represented 48% of total visits to DCMS-Sponsored museums.

Visitor numbers naturally fluctuate from day to day due to many factors, including the weather, day of the week, public holidays, and public transport/parking availability. The time series of weekly total visitors will give a better indication of the trend in visitor numbers.

Estimates only include venues as they reopened, with restrictions on visitor numbers; visitor counts fluctuated as those venues opened more fully, and as others began to open.

As museums began to reopen after lockdown, a number did so incrementally; for instance by opening a limited number of sites - or parts of a site - and/or by reducing opening hours or days.

About

This statistical series is paused during lockdown.

These experimental statistics have been developed by the DCMS statistics team, in partnership with the DCMS sponsored museums, to help monitor the effect of lifting the COVID-19 restrictions. They will be developed throughout the re-opening period in line with user feedback. To provide comments or suggestions for improvement, please email evidence@dcms.gov.uk.

Data collection methods vary between institutions, and each uses a method appropriate to its situation. All data is collected according to the .

Figures may be subject to revision. Any amendments will be published on this website in accordance with the Department’s revision statement, available in our https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/865444/Compliance_Statement_-_February_2020.pdf">compliance statement.

Overview

Ofsted publishes this data to provide a more up-to-date picture of the results within https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/">Parent View. This management information covers submissions received in the previous 365 days for independent schools inspected by Ofsted and maintained schools and academies in England.

Within these releases, you can find:

• an overall question-by-question breakdown of the results for both school types
• a further breakdown of these results by phase and region for maintained schools and academies
• data on the number of submissions received and the response rates for the above categories
• for publications from 2018 onwards, individual school-level data for schools with 10 or more submissions

Publications from September 2021 to April 2022

Due to COVID-19, routine inspections were paused from April 2020 until September 2021. While Parent View is open for submissions all year round, parents are encouraged to fill out the Parent View survey during inspections. Please bear this in mind when interpreting releases where data was collected during this period, as there were fewer submissions received.

Publications from 2020 onwards

The questions used in the Parent View survey changed in September 2019. Due to this change, the releases in the following academic year only contain submissions from the first academic term (January 2020 release), then the first and second academic terms (April 2020 release). Please bear this in mind when comparing to previous releases. Future releases will contain a full rolling 365-day period of the new question data.

Publications from 2017 onwards

These releases now only include submissions for schools that were open and eligible for inspection by Ofsted at the point the management information was produced. Because of this change, the data from these new releases is not completely comparable with the data found within the 2014 to 2015 and 2015 to 2016 releases.

Publications from 2014 to 2015 and 2015 to 2016

This management information covers submissions received to https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/">Parent View, in each academic year since 2014 to 2015, for independent schools and maintained schools and academies in England.

These releases only include submissions for schools that were open and eligible for inspection by Ofsted throughout each academic year.
