The Children’s Commissioner for England has launched ‘The Big Future’, a national survey designed to hear directly from children and young people about their experiences of growing up today.
The survey asks about topics including school, online safety, local communities, voting, the things young people enjoy, the challenges they face, and the changes they would like to see in the future. Responses will help build a national picture of children and young people’s views and experiences.
The survey is open to anyone aged 0-18 and takes around 5 to 10 minutes to complete. Children can complete it themselves, or an adult can help if needed. The survey is open until 23 October 2026.
