  • investigate how COVID-19 has changed the nature and frequency of crimes

During this time, an Ipsos MORI interviewer may call you to conduct an interview over the telephone, or to arrange a convenient time to call back. The interview should take about 20 minutes. All responses will remain totally confidential and anonymous for all individuals and organisations.

If your business is selected at random to participate in this survey, the Home Office would be very grateful for your time and would very much appreciate your input into this important survey.
