Children and young people in Blackpool – Have your say!
The Children’s Commissioner for England has launched The Big Future survey to hear directly from children and young people about their lives, hopes, worries and ideas for the future.
Who can take part?
* Children and young people aged 0–18 (parents/carers can help younger children).
* Accessible formats are available for children and young people with SEND.
This is a chance for children and young people’s voices to help shape future decisions and influence Government thinking
The survey takes about 5 minutes to complete and all responses will help inform national policy and future services.
