The Big Ask

The Big Ask

Posted 12th May 2021

The Big Ask is a survey for children and young people aged 4–17 in England.

The survey is split into different age groups, so you can fill in a version appropriate for your age. 

Rachel de Souza is the the Children’s Commissioner for England. Her job is to speak up for children in England, stand up for their rights, and make sure that the people in power listen to what children need and want.

This is your chance to have your say on the things that matter to you. You can tell them what your life is like, what you want in the future, and anything you think is holding you back.

They will use what you say to tell the people who run the country or your local area what you think needs to change to make your life better.

This survey will only take you 5-10 minutes.
