Youth Survey 2009

This consultation is now closed.  These pages are provided for information only.

1. Consultation overview

This survey comes two years after the first youth consultation carried out in the Summer 2007, in which over 1,500 young people told us what they thought about life for young people in Thanet.  They also told us that they wanted better access to information, facilities, advice and support which is why Youth Matters was developed.

As part of this consultation we wanted to make sure that young people know how to get hold of the magazine and to find out what they thought of it.
