The first part of this project consists of a review of the literature on speed, speeding and accident reduction. Followed by qualitative analysis on drivers’ experiences and perceptions regarding speed choice and speeding behaviour and quantitative analysis on attitudes, values, experiences and behaviour regarding speed choices.
One of the key findings was that explicit recognition of fathers in DCSF and its partners’ policies was partial and uneven.

They show that national prevalence estimates for problem drug use have remained stable across the last three years and that there has been a decrease in estimates of drug injecting. They also show marked variation in prevalence rates across Government Office regions, although there were no significant differences across the three sweeps of the study in individual Government Office regions.
