Methodology: listening and acting in the best interests of residents

Cornwall Council is committed to listening to residents and acting in their best interests. Regular resident surveys provide feedback on what is important to people and what they think of their Council, the services it provides and its value for money. This supports continuous improvement.

Cornwall Council’s published measures of success within its 2018-22 Business Plan target year-on-year increases in residents agreeing that:

Cornwall Council provides value for money Cornwall Council gets it right first time for customers Cornwall Council is standing up and campaigning for Cornwall; and They are satisfied with the way Cornwall Council runs things

Methodology: using a representative sample of Cornwall’s residents 500 Cornwall residents aged 16+ were interviewed between 29 October2018 and 12 November 2018 by telephone. This achieves a confidencelevel of +/- 4.3% at the 95% confidence interval, meaning that there is a95% chance that if we asked the entire adult population of Cornwall, aresult would not differ by +/- 4.3%.

A representative sample was used which means that it reflects thepopulation of Cornwall in terms of gender, age and Community NetworkArea (see ‘respondent profile’ at the end). Quotas were set for each usingthe latest population statistics.

The results have been segmented and analysed by sub-groups, to identifyany differences in responses from people of different age groups, gender,relative deprivation, and different areas of Cornwall.

Methodology: in detail

To ensure a representative sample was surveyed:

• Potential respondents were called a minimum of 10 times beforebeing disregarded

• Calls were made at various times of the day - including mornings,afternoons and evenings, and on weekdays and weekends - toensure that individuals from a variety of demographics, life-stagesand communities could be successfully reached

• If an interviewee was unable to participate in the surveyimmediately, they were given the opportunity to schedule theinterview at a more convenient time for them.

Methodology: comparing Cornwall’s performance with other councilsCornwall Council will benchmark its results against other councils, toprovide a robust picture of performance. Enventure Research wasappointed via competitive tender to carry out surveys twice a year which:

Follow the LGA’s rigorous methodology guidance, ‘Are you beingserved?’, asking set questions of a representative sample of Cornwallresidents to achieve a robust level of confidence in the results

Adopts a telephone (rather than postal) survey method to enable like-for-like comparison of our local results with the LGA’s national resultsand with other councils through LG Inform benchmarking.

The LGA carries out national telephone polls three times a year.Comparisons in this report are with the LGA poll conducted in October2018 by Populus with a sample of 1,001 adults.

Methodology: comparing Cornwall’s 2018 results with previous results

Cornwall Council will track changes in resident satisfaction over time aspart of its commitment to year-on-year increases. This is the first timeCornwall Council’s performance can be compared ‘like-for-like’ with thatof other councils, using the methodology described above.

The results are also compared against the Cornwall Council Residents’Survey 2017, a postal survey conducted by Marketing Means with asample of 11,247 adults, which asked identical questions. However,moving to a telephone survey methodology means that the 2017 resultsare not entirely ‘like-for-like’, and the comparison is only indicative ofchanges over time.

Service satisfaction focus

The following slides look at the previously covered responses to service satisfaction collected by the independent market researcher Enventure. As well as the independent research the slides also include other survey satisfaction figures relating to that service, run by other national networks and Council administered surveys.

The benefit of the additional surveys is to allow a comprehensive overview of both users of the service and the residents perception of its performance in one place.

Interpretation of findingsThis report contains tables, infographics and charts. In some instances, the responses may not add up to 100%. There areseveral reasons why this might happen:

• The question may have allowed each respondent to give more than one answer• Only the most common responses may be shown in the table or chart• Individual percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number so the total may come to 99% or 101%• A response of between 0% and 0.5% will be shown as 0%.

Subgroup analysis has been undertaken by area, gender, age group, and Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) decile*. Thisreport only describes differences that are ‘significant’ at the 95% confidence level.

For the analysis of some questions, some response options have been grouped together to provide a level of agreementor satisfaction. For example, ‘Strongly agree’ and ‘Tend to agree’ have been grouped and shown as ‘Agree’, and ‘Verysatisfied’ and ‘Fairly satisfied’ have been grouped as ‘Satisfied’.

The previously published 2017 survey may show slightly different figures versus the figures quoted in this survey, the reason for this is the removal of ‘don’t know’ as an answer in 2017. LGA questions include ‘don’t know’ as an answer, hence why they have been added back in and re-calculated to be used as a comparison in this report.

*The Index of Multiple Deprivation is the measure of relative deprivation for neighbourhoods in England. It ranks everyneighbourhood from the most deprived 10% to the least deprived 10%. In this report, the most deprived are referred toas ‘deciles 1-3’, whilst the least deprived are ‘deciles 7-10’.
