We are so excited to be bringing Planet Youth to North Dublin. It begins with the school survey for young people in secondary school. Its so important that we don’t assume anything about what it is like to grow up in our areas. We conduct the survey in all the schools in the area every two years and we get the information back very quickly on lots of different things like health, bullying, drug use, family life, friends, sports and other activities and emotional wellbeing, resilience and this year we have added questions about COVID because we know that has really impacted on young people.
The next step is to get all that information back and with our partners work out how we can plan to make things better for young people and their families – that’s the basis of our Planet Youth regional plan.
To do this we have a really hard working and caring team that are all working together to look at what the survey findings tell us about young people and what we need to do next. Our oversight committee is overseeing the Planet Youth project – see membership below.
