Closed 31 Jan 2024

Opened 6 Dec 2023

Results updated 20 Mar 2024

The findings from the Empowering Futures Survey, which closed at the end of January, are currently being fed into the Empowering Futures: Growing Up Well in Warwickshire Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA). This includes using the findings to help shape the narrative of the report and shaping the recommendations and action plan which will follow this JSNA.

The Empowering Futures: Growing Up Well in Warwickshire JSNA is due to go to the May 2024 Health and Wellbeing Board for approval. Following this, it will be published on the Warwickshire JSNA website - https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/joint-strategic-needs-assessments-1.

Overview

We want to hear from you if you work or volunteer with children and young people. 

We want to know how you feel about talking to children and young people (aged 5-18) about their physical health, your knowledge and experience of services, and what would help you support them.  

As well as broader public health priorities and activities, we aim for this survey to specifically inform: 

  • The Empowering Futures: Growing Up Well in Warwickshire Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA). This JSNA seeks to understand the physical health needs of children and young people in Warwickshire.  

  • The Children and Young People Making Every Contact Count (MECC) offer. The children and young people MECC is being developed to support professionals to have strengths based conversations with the children and young people they support.  

Physical health in children and young people can include: 

  • Oral health 

  • Healthy lifestyles (weight, nutrition, physical activity) 

  • Sexual health 

  • Alcohol, drugs, smoking and vaping 

  • Adolescence and teenage health (puberty, hygiene, self-care) 

  • Toileting, sleeping, and eating 

  • Long-term conditions (e.g. chronic illnesses, asthma, diabetes, eczema, allergies, bladder and bowel conditions) 

  • Short-term conditions (e.g. acute illnesses, infections, injuries)
