Children’s experiences and views of violence
Children’s experiences and views of violence
Children’s perspectives and understandings have been gathered by the P4P project team carrying out surveys with 1274 children aged 8-12 years and 13-18 years.
The survey was co-designed by two groups of children and young people and survey responses were completed in schools within particular regions of Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Romania and the UK. The aim was to acquire a snapshot of children’s understanding of violence, their views on disclosure and what might hinder or facilitate this, and their views on services and supports.
To help explore this issue supporting materials have been designed in 3 separate tasks. Complete each accessing supporting materials through the links.
