Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.Understanding Society (the UK Household Longitudinal Study), which began in 2009, is conducted by the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex, and the survey research organisations Kantar Public and NatCen. It builds on and incorporates, the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), which began in 1991.
The Understanding Society COVID-19 Study is a regular survey of households in the UK. The aim of the study is to enable research on the socio-economic and health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the short and long term. The surveys started in April 2020 and took place monthly until July 2020. From September 2020 they take place every other month. They complement the annual interviews in the Understanding Society study.This dataset contains school code variables for the Understanding Society COVID-19 study (SN 8644).A file is provided for the fifth web wave of the Understanding Society COVID-19 study, the only one that school information has currently been gathered for. For each child it contains: state school code, country of state school, private school name and private school town variables for both mother and father responses. A child personal identification serial number (pidp_c) is also provided for matching to the main data in SN 8644.In addition, this dataset contains a file of school code variables that can be matched to a dataset released with the main Understanding Society COVID-19 study containing data taken from waves 10 and 11 of the main Understanding Society survey specifically for the respondents in the Understanding Society COVID-19 study. Child school codes are only available for Wave 11 as they are only collected in odd-numbered waves. For each child it contains the state school code and country of state school variables as well as a personal identification serial number (pidp) and a household identification serial number for wave 11 (jk_hidp). Further details on the files in this dataset can be found in the Understanding Society COVID-19 User Guide.Additional information can be found on the Understanding Society COVID-19 website, including Data documentation. A list of Understanding Society COVID-19 Research Outputs (regularly updated) is also available.
