Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Taking Part survey collects data on many aspects of leisure, culture and sport in England, as well as an in-depth range of socio-demographic information on respondents. The survey is commissioned by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) in partnership with three of its non-departmental public bodies (Sport England, Arts Council England and English Heritage). The survey was first commissioned in 2005 as a face-to-face household survey of adults (16+) in England. Since then it has run annually and has also been developed to include further elements, including a child element and a longitudinal element. Further information can be found on the Gov.uk Taking Part web pages.

For Taking Part, 2019-2020, also known as Year 15 of the continuous survey, 7,502 adults and 620 children aged 11-15 were interviewed. Information was also collected from parents or guardians of 834 children aged 5-10. Interviews were conducted face-to-face in-home by specially trained interviewers working on behalf of NatCen and Ipsos MORI using Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI). In order to preserve confidentiality, variables relating to the census output area, postcode sector, local authority, and primary sampling units have been removed from the UK Data Archive End User Licence version. A Special Licence version that contains more detailed data, including detailed geographical variables (ACORN Group and ONS Urban-Rural Classification), is available under SN 8746.  In addition, a study titled Taking Part Web Panel Data: Engagement During the COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020 is available under SN 8744.Latest edition information For the second edition (January 2024), the data and documentation for the web panel have been added.
