Learning and Wellbeing Surveys – 662-NYC-HA

North Yorkshire Council has delivered a biennial Health, Wellbeing and Lifestyle Survey for children and young people since 2006. The survey and associated reporting have been developed to provide reliable data that supports the identification of priorities for education, health and wellbeing services, and informs planning, commissioning and resource allocation across North Yorkshire.

Survey findings are shared with participating schools, Children and Young People's Service teams, elected members and partner organisations. The reports are used to support strategic planning, service evaluation and the targeting of resources to improve outcomes for children and young people.

The Authority is now seeking information from providers capable of delivering a school-based survey across primary, secondary and special schools throughout North Yorkshire. The survey is undertaken every two years with pupils in Years 2, 6, 8, 10 and 12. Responses from recent surveys have typically ranged between 15,000 and 17,000 pupils.
