The Commission for Countering Extremism (CCE) commissioned Ipsos MORI in July 2020 to undertake primary qualitative research with the general public in England and Wales.

The overarching aim of the research was to explore the range and nature of attitudes, beliefs, false narratives and experiences that sit at the intersection of hateful extremism and COVID-19 among the public. The qualitative fieldwork took place between 27 July and 10 August 2020 and involved a total of 8 online focus groups and 10 in-depth interviews across Britain.
