SHEU (My Voice, My Life) Survey

In Summer 2024, 5,004 young people from West Northamptonshire took part in the My Voice, My Life survey. 

It gathered anonymous feedback from pupils in Years 4 to 6 and 8 to 10 on key areas of their lives, including:

• background and lifestyle
• alcohol, cigarettes and drugs
• emotional health and wellbeing
• healthy eating and physical activity
• relationships and sexual health
• safety and bullying
• school experience

The results help identify trends and support services for young people across the region.
