Over 21,000 young people who were in Year 9 in school in 2004 were asked to take part in the study (from a total of more than 650,000 young people in Year 9 at that time). You were selected to give an accurate picture of the whole country, and therefore your views can not be replaced with anyone else’s.

We need to speak to a representative sample of all young people across
When we have spoken to you before you may have found and continue to find that some questions were more relevant to you than others. We have to include a wide range of questions to capture all the different activities you may be doing and what you think of them. The DCSF need this information to improve services to all young people, not just those of you in education, therefore we are interested to hear from ALL of you.
There are other government departments becoming involved in the study, such as the Department for Work and Pensions, which will mean we will be asking about a wider range of topics than we have in previous years.
Over the past four years of the study we have found many of you have really enjoyed taking part in the study and getting your voice heard.
