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

This survey is incredibly important! My daughter is currently in year 9 and I definitely want her school to take part so that it has a good understanding of the health and wellbeing of this cohort and can respond positively to the findings. Let’s hope that every secondary school in Kirklees signs up!

Thanks for the support, Helen. A total of 35 schools have now agreed to take part in the survey, with just three of the mainstream schools not signed up so far. It would be great to get all the schools signed up (I’m still working on it!), but even without these last few schools we’ll still have a very good sample and should be able to generate some really useful insights.
