Children, violence and vulnerability 2025
The fourth annual Youth Endowment Fund report into young people’s experiences of violence
This is YEF’s fourth annual Children, violence and vulnerability report. This year, YEF surveyed nearly 11,000 teenage children aged 13-17 in England and Wales about their experiences of violence.
The results are being shared across separate reports, each focusing on a different theme:
- The scale of violence affecting children
- Violence in relationships
- Mental health and experiences of violence
- Exploitation and gangs
Each themed report will be made available weekly from 24 November 2025.
