DORSET schoolchildren are being asked for their opinions on what it’s like to live in Dorset.
Children will be asked a range of questions about their school, free time, health and well-being, and issues such as bullying.
Dorset County Council’s Children and Young People's Attitude Survey was based on issues raised by the County Pupil Council, a group of primary and secondary schoolchildren who represent pupil councils from different Dorset schools.
The findings of the survey will be used by Dorset County Council and other agencies to improve services for children.
Dorset County Council’s Cabinet member for children's services Toni Coombs wants as many children and young people to take part as possible.
“This is children and young people’s opportunity to tell us what it’s like living in Dorset and to say what is on their minds.
“Whether it’s lessons, life outside of school or issues surrounding health and well-being - we want to hear about it.”
“We provide so many services for children and young people and we need their feedback, so we can help them to enjoy life and reach their full potential.”
