Research & Consultation

Our research helps you marshal public opinion and keeps you aware of your stakeholders’ thinking. At DHA, we conduct small, medium and large-scale surveys regularly for a wide variety of contracts.

The results took the form of a comprehensive report, detailing perception of the Charity Commission and recommending areas for improvements.

Follow-up surveys were also conducted, using both existing samples, and new samples – so results could be directly compared. Awareness of the housing stock transfer rose from 58% to 88% in 9 months.

We can also devise and place national opinion polling.
