English Housing Survey, 2023: Housing Stock Data: Special Licence Access
No full textAbstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The English Housing Survey (EHS) is a continuous national survey commissioned by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) that collects information about people's housing circumstances and the condition and energy efficiency of housing in England. The EHS brings together two previous survey series into a single fieldwork operation: the English House Condition Survey (EHCS) (available from the UK Data Archive under GN 33158) and the Survey of English Housing (SEH) (available under GN 33277). The EHS covers all housing tenures and provides valuable information and evidence to inform the development and monitoring of the department's housing policies. Results from the survey are also used by a wide range of other users including other government departments, local authorities, housing associations, landlords, academics, construction industry professionals, consultants, and the general public. The EHS has a complex multi-stage methodology consisting of two main elements; an initial interview survey of around 14,000 households and a follow-up physical inspection. Some further elements are also periodically included in or derived from the EHS: for 2008 and 2009, a desk-based market valuation was conducted of a sub-sample of 8,000 dwellings (including vacant ones), but this was not carried out from 2010 onwards. A periodic follow-up survey of private landlords and agents (the Private Landlords Survey (PLS)) is conducted using information from the EHS interview survey. Fuel Poverty datasets are also available from 2003, created by the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC). The EHS interview survey sample formed part of the Integrated Household Survey (IHS) (available from the Archive under GN 33420) from April 2008 to April 2011. During this period the core questions from the IHS formed part of the EHS questionnaire. Safeguarded and Special Licence Versions:From 2014 data onwards, the Safeguarded versions (previously known as End User Licence (EUL)) of the EHS will only include derived variables. In addition the number of variables on the new EUL datasets has been reduced and disclosure control increased on certain remaining variables. New Special Licence versions of the EHS will be deposited later in the year, which will be of a similar nature to previous EHS EUL datasets and will include derived and raw datasets. Further information about the EHS and the latest news, reports and tables can be found on the GOV.UK English Housing Survey web pages. SN 9443 - English Housing Survey, 2023: Housing Stock Data: Special Licence Access contains data from the households who have taken part in both the interview and physical surveys, as well as physical survey data on a random sample of vacant dwellings identified by the interviewer. The data from the interview survey only are available under SN 9444 - English Housing Survey, 2023-2024: Household Data: Special Licence Access.Main Topics:The EHS Housing survey consists of two components.Interview survey on the participating household - An interview is first conducted with the householder. The interview topics include: household characteristics, satisfaction with the home and the area, disability and adaptations to the home, ownership and rental details and income details. All interviewees are guaranteed confidentiality and all data is anonymised.Physical survey on the housing stock - A visual inspection of both the interior and exterior of the dwelling is carried out by a qualified surveyor to assess the condition and energy efficiency of the dwelling. Topics covered include whether the dwelling meets the Decent Homes Standard; cost to make the dwelling decent; existence of damp and Category 1 Hazards as measured by the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS); Energy Efficiency Rating. The physical survey is carried out on the dwelling of a sub-sample of the participants of the interview survey. The sub-sample consists of the dwelling of participants living in private or social rented properties and a sub-sample of those in owner occupied properties. A proportion of the dwellings found to be vacant during the interview survey are also included in the physical survey. </p

Cyber Security Breaches Survey, 2025
No full textAbstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Cyber Security Breaches Survey, 2025 (CSBS) was run to understand organisations' approaches and attitudes to cyber security, and to understand their experience of cyber security breaches. The aim of the survey was to support the Government by providing evidence that can inform policies which help to make Britain a safer place to do business online. Details of changes for the 2025 survey can be found in the Technical Annex documentation.These surveys have been conducted annually since 2016 to understand the views of UK organisations on cyber security. Data are collected on topics including online use; attitudes of organisations to cyber security and awareness of Government initiatives; approaches to cyber security (including investment and processes); incidences and impact of a cyber security breach or attack; and how breaches are dealt with by the organisation. This information helps to inform Government policy towards organisations, including how best to target key messages to businesses and charities so that they are cyber-secure (and so that the UK is the safest place in the world to do business online). The study is funded by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and the Home Office. The underlying data are useful for researchers to better understand the response across a range of organisations and for wider comparability over time. The survey originally only covered businesses but was expanded to include charities from the 2018 survey onwards. From 2020, the survey includes a sample of education institutions (primary and secondary schools, further and higher education). Please note that the UK Data Service only holds data from 2018 onwards. Further information and additional publications can be found on the GOV.UK Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025 web page.Main Topics:Organisational cyber security, views, experiences and behaviours of organisations (UK businesses, charities and educational institutions) on cyber security and cyber security breaches.</p

Ryttarkänsla i praktiken - hur man undervisar ryttare
No full textInstructing riders is a complex task. The riding teacher needs to pay attention to both horse and rider, give instructions, and structure the lesson. The aim of this project was to investigate riding teachers’ instructions of transitions. The study included five riders and two teachers in Sweden and in Norway, two lessons per rider (40 in total). Riding teachers were interviewed regarding their teaching, and riders regarding their understanding of the instructions and the horse’s movements. Lessons were video recorded and qualitative analysis was combined with measurements of horse and rider movements and rein tension. It was found that riding teachers have influence on the movement pattern of the horses and riders, as well as rein tension levels. Further, the results highlight the importance of lesson planning to optimise communication between horse and rider. Reflection and feedback on the effects of different choices could be supportive to riding teacher’s professional development.Att instruera ryttare är komplext eftersom ridläraren samtidigt måste vara uppmärksam på både häst och ryttare, instruera och strukturera lektionen. Syftet med projektet var att studera hur ridlärare instruerar ryttaren under övergångar. Studien inkluderade tio ryttare, fem i Sverige och fem i Norge, som red två hästar var för två olika ridlärare (40 lektioner). Ridlärarna intervjuades om sin undervisning, och ryttarna om sin förståelse av instruktionerna samt hur de uppfattade hästarnas rörelser. Lektionerna videofilmades, och kvalitativ analys kombinerades med objektiv mätning av hästens och ryttarens rörelsemönster samt tygelspänning. Resultaten visar på systematiska skillnader i hästarnas och ryttarnas rörelsemönster och nivå av tygelspänning mellan ridlärare. Det tyder på att lektionsplanering kan påverka kommunikationen mellan häst och ryttare. Ökad reflektion och feedback på hur olika lektionsupplägg påverkar häst och ryttare kan stärka ridlärares kompetensutveckling
