ARK Seminar Series 2016/7

June Wilkinson from OFMDFM Children and Young People's Unit updates us on their Children and Young People's Strategy.

KLT and YLT are annual surveys run by ARK that record the views of P7 children (KLT) and 16- year olds (YLT) living in Northern Ireland about issues that affect them.

The topics covered in the 2015 surveys include:

  • Community Relations (YLT)
  • Shared Education (Both)
  • Young Carers (YLT)
  • Child Sexual Exploitation (YLT)
  • Strategies for Staying Calm in School (KLT)
  • Sport and Physical Activities (Both)
  • Aspirations to study/work abroad or learn an additional language (YLT)

This event is predominantly for organisations, researchers and school staff who work with and on behalf of children and young people.
