Insight from our young people informs the KJSA

The Kirklees Young People’s Survey (KYPS) is an important source of local intelligence and insight. It is used in many sections of the KJSA and helps to shape the way we commission and deliver services for local children, young people and families across Kirklees.

The last survey of pupils in Year 9 (carried out in 2014) covered topics such as health and wellbeing, health-related behaviours and perceptions of the local area. We are currently in the planning phase of the latest survey, which will be carried out towards the end of the summer term 2018. The survey will be completed online during lesson time and all responses will be captured anonymously.

We’re currently asking all Kirklees schools with a Year 9 cohort to sign up to take part in the survey, by emailing owen.richardson@kirklees.gov.uk
