Young People

Young peoples' views (under 18s) are not asked for their views in the National Best Value Satisfaction Survey (a cross section of council taxpayers in the District). To understand young peoples' points of view, a survey based on the 2006 National Best Value Satisfaction Survey was designed, with specific questions pertinent to young people added. By comparing directly with the previous survey, evaluation of the council's polices and strategies can be done and by comparing with the adult population, we can see differences in attitudes to the service offered.

The survey also gives the Council valuable intelligence on the quality of life for young people and to help improve the quality of services available.

Questionnaires were distributed via Warwickshire County Council (Children, Young People & Families Directorate) to pupils of Henley High, Kineton High, Shipston high, Stratford Girls School, Alcester Grammar School, Stratford High and Studley High Schools. The first batch of questionnaires were distributed in December 2007/8, with a further batch distributed and completed in January and February 2008.
