Starting our conversation about The Cornwall We Want

The Coronavirus pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to Cornwall, the country and the entire World. The pandemic has affected virtually every aspect of how we live our lives, the health and wellbeing of our family and friends, our jobs, businesses and wider economy.

From the start, Cornwall Council has been working to keep the public informed and safe, to protect and care for the most vulnerable in our society and to support livelihoods in every way possible. This remains our top priority, but we are also determined that Cornwall should bounce forward - not just back - as we work together to build The Cornwall We Want.

This residents survey is just the start of the conversation, as we work to understand how the pandemic has affected our communities and to ask for your views on the future so that we can together build a more sustainable, healthy, safe, vibrant and inclusive future for us all.

Using a representative sample of Cornwall’s residents

500 Cornwall residents aged 18+ were interviewed between 23 May and 10 June2020 by telephone. A representative sample was used which means that itreflects the population of Cornwall in terms of gender, age, region of Cornwalland socioeconomic status (see ‘Respondent profile’ at the end). Quotas were setfor each using the latest population statistics.

• Potential respondents were called a minimum of 10 times before being disregarded

• Calls were made at various times of the day - including mornings, afternoons andevenings, and on weekdays and weekends - to ensure that individuals from a varietyof demographics, life-stages and communities could be successfully reached

• If an interviewee was unable to participate in the survey immediately, they were giventhe opportunity to schedule the interview at a more convenient time for them

Making national comparisons

Wherever possible we have asked residents the same questions to those askednationally, so that we can understand how Cornwall is being affected comparedwith elsewhere. Where available, national comparisons have been shown inblack, using information taken from the following surveys:

• YouGov survey commissioned by the Royal Society of Agriculture’s Food, Farming and Countryside Commission and undertaken between 7th – 9th April (https://www.thersa.org/about-us/media/2019/brits-see-cleaner-air-stronger-social-bonds-and-changing-food-habits-amid-lockdown)

• Office of National Statistics survey: Coronavirus and the social impacts on Great Britain (12th June 2020) (https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/healthandwellbeing/bulletins/coronavirusandthesocialimpactsongreatbritain/12june2020)

When comparing results, only differences equal to or greater than 4.3% are statistically valid

This survey has a confidence interval of +/- 4.3%, which means that, if itwere practical to ask every member of Cornwall’s population to takepart, the true answer would be within 4.3% of the result obtained in thissurvey. When comparing two results, this means that the differencemust be equal to or greater than 4.3% to be statistically valid.

Interpretation of findings

This report contains tables, infographics and charts. In some instances, the responses may notadd up to 100%. There are several reasons why this might happen:

• The question may have allowed each respondent to give more than one answer

• Only the most common responses may be shown in the table or chart

• Individual percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number so the total may come to99% or 101%

• A response of between 0% and 0.5% will be shown as 0%.

Subgroup analysis has been undertaken by gender, age group, ethnicity and area.

For the analysis of some questions, some response options have been grouped together toprovide a level of agreement or satisfaction. For example, ‘Strongly agree’ and ‘Tend to agree’have been grouped and shown as ‘Agree’, and ‘Very satisfied’ and ‘Fairly satisfied’ have beengrouped as ‘Satisfied’.
