Would you accept less privacy in exchange for greater safety?

Across regions, most people feel crime is rising and perception alone can shape how safe a community feels.
Do you support a proposal to ban social media for under-16s in the UK?

Does the New Year feel like a fresh start to you?
For some, the New Year brings renewal, for many others, it’s simply a continuation of real life.
Are you happy for social media to track your location?
People are drawing a clear line: most don’t want social media knowing where they are, privacy still matters.
Will the recent interest rate drop help your household finances?
Despite an interest rate drop, most households feel no financial relief, showing that economic shifts at the top aren’t easing pressure where it’s felt most: at home.
Do you agree with Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch’s view that “cultures that do not respect women” need to “get out of our country”?
A strong majority say respect for women is non-negotiable and believe it should be a clear line in the sand.
Will the new budget make a positive difference to your household finances?

Do you pay your respects on Remembrance Day?
Remembrance Day unites us, with every respondent choosing to remember, reflect, and pay their respects.
Have recent incidents like the Cambridgeshire train stabbing made you feel less safe in your area?
Most respondents told imabi they feel less safe in their area following incidents like the Cambridgeshire train stabbings. The results show how major events can quickly undermine public confidence and highlight the growing need for accessible safety tools and trusted reporting routes.
Breast Cancer Awareness
When asked about Breast Cancer Awareness, half of respondents say they perform regular breast self-checks, yet many still feel uneasy talking about breast health. imabi’s insight reveals that stigma, fear, and lack of inclusive awareness continue to limit open conversations, especially among men and younger people.
Do you regularly check yourself for signs of breast cancer?
Only 1 in 4 respondents told imabi they regularly check themselves for signs of breast cancer meaning 75% are not performing routine self-examinations. Early detection saves lives, yet these results show a continued need for awareness, education, and access to reliable health information. Explore more through the imabi Travel Guardian.
Black History Month: Awareness & Impact
Survey explored how people across the UK view the importance and impact of Black History Month. The results reveal a split in opinion - while many see it as important, an equal number feel it’s losing relevance or visibility. Respondents said the media and public campaigns have the greatest influence, but local community recognition remains low, with most saying their area doesn’t mark it well.
Encouragingly, a strong majority believe Black history should be recognised all year round, not just in October, suggesting people want deeper integration into education, workplaces, and everyday life. Most have never attended a Black History Month event, showing a gap between awareness and active participation.
Comments from participants called for more inclusive, year-round engagement, stronger community involvement, and initiatives that bring everyone into the conversation - not just those already connected to the cause.
Does Black History Month encourage more inclusivity in your community?
While Black History Month celebrates heritage and awareness, 86% of respondents told imabi they don’t believe it encourages greater inclusivity in their communities - a reminder that true inclusion must be lived every day, not just observed once a year.
Do you think challenges like Sober October actually change drinking habits long term?
Most respondents told imabi they don’t believe challenge months like Sober October lead to long-term drinking habit changes. While these campaigns boost awareness, many feel sustained support is needed for lasting behaviour change.
Do you believe suicide is preventable?
Most people believe suicide can be prevented - a powerful reminder that listening, early support, and timely action truly matter.
Staying Safe in the Summer Heat: Your Voice on Heatwave Preparedness
As extreme heat becomes a growing threat in the UK, public concern is rising fast. imabi Travel Guardian Your Voice survey found that most people feel the government isn’t taking heat risks seriously enough and many have personally experienced heat-related illness. Few know where to find reliable guidance, but there’s overwhelming support for practical protections, including shaded areas, free water, and legal duties for employers. The majority also want councils to send real-time heat alerts. The message is clear: people don’t just want advice, they want visible action, stronger laws, and clearer communication to help everyone stay safe in extreme heat.
Should police monitor public social media to prevent hate-fuelled unrest?
With online spaces increasingly influencing real-world tensions, public opinion is divided on how far authorities should go in monitoring social media. imabi Travel Guardian snapshot survey found that most people support police monitoring to help prevent hate-fuelled unrest, viewing it as a vital tool for public safety. However, a significant number remain opposed, raising valid concerns about privacy, data use, and the potential for overreach. The findings highlight the delicate balance between protection and personal freedom and the need for clear, transparent policies to maintain public trust.
