answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2022 answer text <p>The use of incentives is in line with best practice for public surveys and is common practice across Government. Incentives improve survey response rates, which is important for ensuring we have enough representative data. Low response rates carry a number of risks including insufficient data to analyse, bias in survey results and reduced stakeholder confidence.</p><p>We keep abreast of relevant research (such as a <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/earningsandworkinghours/methodologies/howfacetofaceinterviewerattitudesandbeliefsmoderatetheeffectofmonetaryincentiveonuklabourforcesurveyresponserates" target="_blank">2020 ONS study</a>) and review our incentive strategy regularly to ensure it continues to represent good value for money for the taxpayer.</p><p>In 2021/22, Kantar Public issued, on behalf of DCMS, 33,841 vouchers (22,202 e-vouchers and 5,639 by post) as an incentive for completion of the 2021/22 Participation Survey. This equates to £338,410.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 08/06/2022 12:57:31 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

Young people, people with disabilities and those experiencing loneliness will be given the opportunity to volunteer and help others. DCMS is investing £6.25 million in the fund, together with £1.17 million provided by matched funders.</p><p>Our delivery partners for this programme are the Arts Council England, NHS Charities Together and Pears Foundation. The 19 Arts Council England funded projects will work with over 160 partners across heritage, arts, libraries, festival, community and sport organisations to increase accessibility to volunteering.</p><p>We are also supporting the development of the sector-led Vision for Volunteering, through which an ambitious ten year action plan is being developed to improve the volunteer experience. One of the five themes of the Vision is ‘Equity and Inclusion’, in recognition of the barriers that some people face to participating in volunteering.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 10/06/2022 11:29:12 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
