Following on from feedback, we plan to remove the demographic tables from the Participation Survey quarterly publications, from September 2023. We would continue to include the demographic tables in the annual publications. If you are regularly using the quarterly demographic tables and this proposed change would cause you significant issues, please get in touch with DCMS Survey team participationsurvey@dcms.gov.uk, outlining which particular breakdowns you would like us to prioritise, by the end of August 2023.

In 2023/24, DCMS partnered with Arts Council England (ACE) to boost the Participation Survey to be able to produce meaningful estimates at Local Authority level. This has enabled us to have the most granular data we have ever had, which means there will be some new questions and changes to existing questions, response options and definitions in the 23/24 survey. The questionnaire for 2023/24 has been developed collaboratively to adapt to the needs and interests of both DCMS and ACE.
Where there has been a change, we have highlighted where a comparison with previous data can or cannot be made. Questionnaire changes can affect results, therefore should be taken into consideration when interpreting the findings.
