Today, the Children’s Commissioner has launched ‘The Big Ambition’ to hear directly from young people, and parents from across the country:

“As we approach the General Election, I am clear that it is a crucial moment to take children and young people’s voices to policymakers, Government, and decision makers, to make sure they are heard.

That is why, through The Big Ambition survey I want to hear from young people about their schools, communities, family life, and the wider world. I will also be asking what they want for their future, their hopes, dreams, and aspirations.

It is critical that I take the voice of children from all backgrounds, all settings, and every part of the country to policy makers – to make sure their needs are heard.

I would appreciate your support and help in this, please share this survey with all children, parents, and carers within your network, so that their views are included. The findings will be used to advocate for children.”
