Dear Parents and Carers,

We are supporting an important national survey called The Big Future, led by the Children’s Commissioner, Dame Rachel de Souza. This survey gives children and young people across England the chance to share their views, experiences, and hopes for the future.

As we approach the final weeks of the academic year, this is a valuable opportunity for students to reflect on what matters most to them. The survey invites children aged 0–18 to talk about what they enjoy, the challenges they face, the changes they would like to see in their communities, and what they think a good childhood should look like today.

We would be very grateful if you could encourage your child to take part. You can access the survey here:

Taking part helps ensure that young people’s voices are heard and represented in national decision-making. The findings will be published next year and will help shape conversations about children’s lives and futures for years to come.
