The Children’s Commissioner has launched The Big Future survey and is inviting children and young people to share their experiences of growing up in England today.

The survey gives young people the opportunity to talk about what’s working well, what could be improved, and what matters most to them - including their community, their worries, their hopes for the future and what a good childhood should look like.

The survey takes around five minutes to complete, and responses will help inform future change for children and young people across England.
