Young People’s Survey
Youth Connexions Hertfordshire would like your son/ daughter to complete a survey found on the link below: https://surveys.hertfordshire.gov.uk/s/YoungPeopleSurvey2019/
About the survey:
- It is for young people across the county aged between 11-17. This survey has been developed by YC Hertfordshire to hear and capture the voices of young people, to help us understand what they want from out- of-school provision, the issues of greatest concern to them, and how we can make services and activities better.
- The survey results will help to inform a countywide Youth Strategy Statement which will set out their commitment to working in partnership in the identification of need, development of provision and coproduction of quality services. It will help YC Hertfordshire and our partner organisations to ensure that as a county, we are delivering inclusive, relevant and valuable services for young people.
