Research design
The project combines survey data with expert analysis and independent review to ensure findings are both statistically grounded and contextually rich. That means the report is not based on a single survey alone, but on a sequence of research steps that help validate and explain the numbers.
How we're doing it
National survey
A structured survey of British Hindu adults, designed to reach beyond temple-affiliated networks and capture the community's full diversity.
Expert contributions
Commissioned chapters and analysis from academics and practitioners in relevant fields.
Robust oversight
Our advisory board reviews methodology and findings. The report is not owned by, or answerable to, any single tradition or political interest.
Data protection
All responses are confidential; data handled in accordance with UK GDPR.
Publication
First report published in November, then annually, freely available to the public.
Approach: evidence-led, transparent, and independent. We aim to capture the community's diversity without reducing it to a single narrative.
Data protection and ethics
All participation is voluntary and handled in line with UK data protection law, including GDPR requirements. The project is designed to minimise risk, protect anonymity where possible, and ensure that findings are reported responsibly.
Where individual responses could identify a person, those responses are handled with strict controls and published only in aggregated, anonymised form.
