Research

ECB commissioned award winning M.E.L to lead first of its kind research into doorstep interactions of enforcement agents. Researchers visited a selection of ECB accredited  enforcement firms, of all sizes, and choosing and viewing random samples of body worn video (BWV) taken during enforcement visits. The samples videos were assessed by the researchers against criteria that the ECB have developed in collaboration with debt advice and enforcement industry experts.

 

ECB commissioned independent research agency, Thinks Insight and Strategy to run a series of workshops with enforcement agents as well as carrying out a number of depth interviews with those who have lived experience of enforcement action.  This research was conducted in May 2024 as part of the engagement for our standards project

ECB commissioned Revealing Reality to research some people’s experience of enforcement action.
