The change marks an important step forward for Doncaster’s School Health Surveys by expanding our surveys to include dedicated surveys for Post 16 provision, Special settings, Pupil Referral Units, Alternative Provision and Home Educated young people. By broadening the scope of the surveys, we can better capture the experiences of young people in Doncaster and ensure that every voice is heard!
What is the Young People's Lifestyle Survey?
The Young People’s Lifestyle Survey is a key part of the City of Doncaster Council's commitment to improving health outcomes for young people. Since 2015, Doncaster Council has conducted the Young People's Lifestyle Survey, which has provided valuable data on children and young people’s health-related behaviour, through an anonymous school-based questionnaire.
