YOUNG people in Devon are being encouraged to take part in a national survey exploring what it is like to grow up in England today.

The Children’s Commissioner for England has launched ‘The Big Future’, giving young people the chance to share their views on issues including school, online safety, local communities, voting and the changes they want to see in the future.

Open to everyone aged up to 18-years-old, the survey takes just five to ten minutes to complete.

Children can fill it in themselves or with the support from an adult.

The findings will help build a national picture of children’s experiences and priorities.

The survey closes on October 23.
