The UK’s first and largest survey of its kind to document the impact of Covid-19, and the lockdowns, on the lives of 17,000 black, minorities and religious minority people will be back online at the end of April 2021.
The Evidence for Equality National Survey (EVENS) aims to inform work and campaigns for racial justice by providing robust evidence on a wide range of issues facing Black and minoritised communities during the pandemic.
The survey covers how you have been impacted in terms of employment, finance, education, economic wellbeing, health, housing, policing, identity and experiences of discrimination and racism.
Please take the survey
Participants who complete the 30 minute survey in full will receive a gift voucher.
Dr Nissa Finney, EVENS' Lead, said: "When published, EVENS will help place ethnic inequalities and racism firmly on the political and policy agenda in an enduring manner. The data will be freely available and can be used by anyone, from our VCSE partners, activists and politicians to policymakers, campaigners, NGOs and Experts by Experience in the UK."
Sir Simon Woolley, Director of Operation Black Vote, one of 13 EVENS VCSE partners, said: "Inclusive data is key to better understand the depth and breadth of persistent race inequality in the UK. This unique partnership with EVENS brings together interested organisations, individuals and academic institutions that deeply care about tackling the scourge of racism. Here the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts."
