The deadline for residents to complete a voluntary survey of social attitudes in the Isle of Man is this Friday April 29.
The survey is being conducted for Government’s Cabinet Office by the independent research firm Island Global Research.
Information from the survey, (along with the results of the separate Isle of Man census conducted on 24 April), will help shape government’s future policy making.
The survey includes 78 questions across a wide range of topics and should take about 20 minutes to complete. A previous survey was undertaken in 2002; the aim of this survey is to compare current attitudes with previous research and with current attitudes in other jurisdictions.
Residents wishing to participate can complete the survey online at:
http://survey.islandglobalresearch.com/s3/IOMSocialAttitudesSurvey-2016
Alternatively people may complete a paper version of the survey, which can be picked up at several locations around the Isle of Man:
• Ramsey Town Library
• Peel Town Hall
• Castletown Civic Centre
• Cabinet Office, 3rd floor, Government Office, Douglas
Island Global Research will collate the results ensuring that the confidentiality of all respondents is maintained, and will provide anonymised data to the Cabinet Office.
A report summarising the findings and the datasets will be published later in the year on www.gov.im.
Completed surveys will be eligible for a prize draw.
