Request Received: 28 January 2025
I’m writing to request the complete responses to the consultation on the approach to PCE for the REF. Specifically, I would like to request the aggregate response to the closed questions -i.e. how many respondents ticked which response, which I assume is very simple to supply and raises no confidentiality issues.
In addition, I would like to request all the write-in responses, which I understand will need to have personal information redacted from them. If that requires a bit more time, perhaps you could send me the quantitative data as above first?

I was indeed referring to the responses to this survey: https://www.technopolis-group.com/new/ref-2029-people-culture-and-environment-indicators-survey/
Even though you outsourced the conduct of the survey you must have all the responses – in aggregate – i.e. a report of how many people ticked which box for each question (as most of the answers were tick box). It was this information I was asking for. Plus all the write-ins that were added in the free-text boxes with the report. I assume these were also made available to you since you are presumably relying on these responses to shape PCE.
If you simply have a report from Technopolis with all the responses, then presumably you could send me that? This should be very unburdensome!
If you were also supplied with all the underlying data, which I would assume for any survey which you were responsible for – even if you outsourced its implementation – including all the free text comments (anonymised) which I would assume you would have as standard, I would welcome that. I hope this clarifies and that it makes the request simple for you to implement.
Since the survey was conducted six months ago and since it typically takes around a day (or less) to process and deliver raw data from such an exercise, that data must be available. Even if there are further activities ongoing.
