"2007-08 Citizenship Survey: Empowered Communities Topic Report 02/11/2009 Using 2007-08 Citizenship Survey data, this report provides an in-depth examination of community empowerment: whether people feel they can influence local and national decisions; whether they would like to be more involved in decision making; what would make it easier to influence decision making; and how people would influence decisions if they wanted to. It also looks at people's trust in institutions and what activities people actually take part in (civic activism, civic consultation, civic participation and volunteering). It is one of a series of annual reports from the 2007-08 Citizenship Survey. Other reports cover Volunteering and Charitable Giving, Identity and Values, Community Cohesion and Race, Religion and Equalities."

"The benefits and risks to children's wellbeing and learning associated with playing computer games have been highlighted as an area for urgent research by the Byron Review. At the same time, the Children's Plan and Becta's Harnessing Technology strategy have identified the importance of parents and families on children's learning and development. It is therefore important to understand the differing ways in which computer games are played and perceived in family settings, including parents' and children's attitudes towards gaming. It is also necessary to understand the type of games being played by families, and the benefits and concerns. "
