All too often the
opinions of children are ignored when decisions are made about many
of the issues involving them. The Kids’ Life
and Times survey gives children a voice and an opportunity to help
influence policies that affect them.
Kids’ Life
and Times is an annual survey of all P7 children in Northern
Ireland covering what they think about school and other issues
important to children today. The survey began in 2008 and by inviting
respondents to suggest topics for the next year's survey, we make sure
that the issues covered are relevant to the lives of children in Northern
Ireland today.
Kids' Life and
Times is carried out online in schools and the results of the surveys
are available here.To
