Background
Levels of cultural, digital and sporting engagement have been affected by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. A bespoke questionnaire, asking about participation in activities which could be done under social distancing guidance, was developed and run by Ipsos MORI on behalf of DCMS. The survey used respondents of the Taking Part web panel. These adults (16+) have agreed to join a longitudinal panel after being randomly selected to complete a face-to-face Taking Part questionnaire in recent years.
