Next Steps
Authority staff are working with the Diffley Partnership to analyse a
pooled dataset of four full waves of polling data. In January 2024 additional questions relating to personal characteristics were asked (ethnicity, sexual orientation, and health), and these data will be analysed to inform the deeper dive of the pooled dataset. This work will be presented to the Committee in June 2024.
The Authority and Diffley Partnership will also be running a series of qualitative focus groups in 2024-25, with participants recruited on the basis of having characteristics of interest identified through the deep dive exercise.
