The Big Future Survey: Your Voice Matters!
Have you ever felt like adults make decisions about young people without asking what they think? The Big Future Survey is your chance to change that. Created by Rachel, the Children’s Commissioner for England, the survey gives children and young people the opportunity to share what life is really like today. It aims to hear your thoughts, experiences, hopes, and concerns so that the views of young people can be used to help improve life for children across England.
Taking part is simple, and there are no right or wrong answers. The survey is all about your honest opinions. Whether you enjoy school, find some things difficult, feel excited about your future, or think there are things that need to change, your experiences matter. Every young person has a unique story, and by sharing yours, you can help adults better understand the challenges and opportunities facing young people today.
You do not have to answer any questions that you do not want to answer, and the information you share will be kept private. This means you can be honest about your views and experiences. The survey is a chance for young people to talk about the issues that matter most to them, from education and friendships to their communities and future goals.
Young people are experts in their own lives. Decisions made by adults can affect your education, health, safety, and opportunities, which is why it is so important that your voice is heard. By spending a few minutes completing the Big Future Survey, you can help make sure that children and young people are listened to and represented. Your ideas and experiences could help shape future decisions and make a real difference.
Every opinion counts. No matter who you are, where you live, or what your experiences have been, this is your chance to tell adults what is working well, what is not working, and what changes you would like to see. If you want young people’s voices to be heard and valued, the Big Future Survey is an opportunity to speak up and help build a better future for everyone.
