Speaking Out Survey 2021: The results have been released

The Commissioner for Children and Young People has a statutory responsibility to monitor the wellbeing of all children and young people living in Western Australia and advocate on their behalf. That is 616,000 children!

The Speaking Out Survey is a robust and representative survey of the wellbeing of children and young people in WA.

In the second survey, a record 16,532 children and young people from all regions of WA shared their experiences and views on safety, mental health, engagement in education, connection to community and how they access sources of support.

The findings will be valuable for anyone working with children and young people, across both government and non-government organisations, helping to guide policy and programs that ensure the needs of children and young people are met.
