DCMS BICS round 2, resilience of businesses in the performing arts and music subsectors
Updated 11 December 2020
| DCMS Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact Business Survey - Round Two |
|---|
| Released 02 November 2020 |
| The indicators and analysis presented in this bulletin are based on responses from the voluntary business survey, which captures organisations' responses on how their turnover, costs, workforce and resilience have been affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. 聽 |
| The results presented in this release are based on 3,870 completed responses. |
| These results were collected between 17 August and 8 September 2020. |
| 1. Experimental Statistics |
| This is the first time we have published these results as Official Statistics. An earlier round of the business survey can be found at /government/publications/dcms-coronavirus-impact-business-survey |
| We have designated these as Experimental Statistics, which are newly developed or innovative statistics. |
| These are published so that users and stakeholders can be involved in the assessment of their suitability and quality at an early stage.聽 |
| We welcome any user feedback on the presentation of these results to聽evidence@dcms.gov.uk |
| 2. Data sources |
| The survey was run simultaneously through DCMS stakeholder engagement channels and via a YouGov panel. |
| The two sets of results have been merged to create one final dataset.聽 |
| Invitations to submit a response to the survey were circulated to businesses in relevant sectors through DCMS stakeholder engagement channels, prompting 2,579 responses. |
| YouGov's business omnibus panel elicited a further 1,288 responses. YouGov鈥檚 respondents are part of their panel of over one million adults in the UK. |
| A series of pre-screened information on these panellists allows YouGov to target senior decision-makers of organisations in DCMS sectors. |
| 3. Quality |
| One purpose of the survey is to highlight the characteristics of organisations in DCMS sectors whose viability is under threat in order to shape further government support. |
| The timeliness of these results is essential. |
| There are some limitations, arising from the need for this timely information. |
| Estimates from the聽DCMS Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact Business Survey are currently unweighted and should be treated with caution when used to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 across the UK economy. |
| Each business was assigned the same weight regardless of turnover, size or industry, and the data in the latest period are final. |
| Survey responses through DCMS stakeholder comms are likely to contain an element of self-selection bias as those businesses that are more severely negatively affected have a greater incentive to report their experience. |
| Due to time constraints, we are yet to undertake any statistical significance testing or provided confidence intervals |
