Thank you to everyone who joined us for our BSA 43: Deep Dive event this morning in-person and online.

NatCen’s second British Social Attitudes output in our new quarterly format, examined what is really driving support for Reform and how public attitudes towards higher education are changing.

Thank you to our wonderful speakers Sir John Curtice @whatukthinks, Alex Scholes @AlexScholes6, Diana Beech and Annabel Denham @AnnabelDenham1, as well as our chair Sara Rajeswaran, for an insightful discussion on what these findings mean for politics, policy and wider society.

As Britain's longest-running measure of public opinion, BSA continues to provide unparalleled insight into how attitudes, values and expectations are evolving across the UK. We look forward to sharing more insights from the latest survey in the months ahead.
