Young people's confidence in you (37%) and ethnic miinorities awareness of you (57%) annual report 2021/22

The request was successful.

Dear Independent Office for Police Conduct,

I seek information regarding your methodology in respect of:

'Priority 3 - to improve confidence in police accountability'.

This can be found on page 12 of your recently published 2021/22 annual report:

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk...

Two figures are included:

'Young people who are confident that the police deal with complaints fairly' (37%)

and;

'The proportion of people from ethnic minority backgrounds who are aware of us' (57%)

1. Please provide full details of how the figures of 37% and 57% were calculated. If you surveyed young people and ethnic minorities then provide the questions asked, the methods of selection and contact, the numbers contacted and a breakdown of responses. Please also provide the numbers asked to participate who refused.

2. Additionally, please provide information held that informed your decision to include 'the proportion of people from ethnic backgrounds who are aware of us' as an indicator of their confidence in police accountability. It appears that you have conflated 'awareness' with 'confidence'. This is something I do not understand and hope you hold recorded information that sheds light on the matter.

Yours faithfully,

J Roberts
