Surveys

We want to make sure our statistics are accurate and reflect the whole population, because they are used by central and local government to direct money and resources to where they are most needed. To do this we need reliable information from the right people.

ONS runs more than a hundred business and household surveys.  If you have been chosen to take part in one of them, this is your chance to make a difference. Every response contributes to more accurate and representative data which, in turn, provides a better basis for decision-making.

Our surveys look at all aspects of life in the UK - from business activities, employment and wage rates to family expenditure, housing and education. You can use the A-Z list to find more information about the survey you are interested in.

We're still working on these pages, so if you can't find the information you need to complete your survey please phone or email the contact on your survey form, letter or leaflet.
