The Child & Youth Wellbeing Survey is a youth-friendly, validated tool developed by UNICEF Canada. Halton was one of the communities in Canada invited to participate along with Waterloo Region, Ottawa, and Digby, Nova Scotia. UNICEF and the Canadian Index of Wellbeing supported the implementation of the survey. Our Kids Network (OKN) led the implementation in Halton and will receive the raw data and reports. OKN will also participate in the development of a toolkit to support the administration of the survey across Canada, and the use of its data. The survey was administered from late April to June 14, 2021, with the results being available by late 2021. Learn more about the survey.
The municipal “Tell Them From Me (TTFM)/OurSCHOOL Secondary School Survey” data is Halton-specific and provides an outline of the wellbeing of Halton youth, 13 to 18 years-old. Professionals who work with children, youth and families can use this and other OKN data resources to plan and implement programs and services at the local level, where it matters most.
