This is the Youth Endowment Fund’s third annual Children, violence and vulnerability report. This year, they surveyed over 10,000 teenage children aged 13-17 about their experiences of violence.
Some of the key findings include:
- 20% of the young people surveyed reported being a victim of violence in the past 12 months
- Experiences of violence were concentrated amongst the most vulnerable
- 5% of 13 to 17 year old's said they had carried a weapon in the past year
- Violence is widespread on social media
- 80% of 13 to 17 year old's who reported seeing weapons on social media said it made them feel less safe in their local area
- Many children supported limiting access to phones and social media
This year’s findings are detailed across five reports, each focusing on a different aspect.
YEF have broken down children’s experiences of violence into the following areas:
- Who is affected by violence?
- What role does social media play in violence affecting young people?
- How do boys and girls experience violence?
- What do children and young people think about the police?
- Who has access to positive activities, youth clubs and trusted adults?
