Children, violence and vulnerability 2024
The third annual Youth Endowment Fund report into young people’s experiences of violence
This is YEF’s third annual Children, violence and vulnerability report. This year, YEF surveyed over 10,000 teenage children aged 13-17 in England and Wales about their experiences of violence.
Amid the everyday pressures of adolescence — school, friendships and self-discovery — many teenagers are also having to navigate a more troubling issue: violence.
This year’s findings are detailed across five reports, each focusing on a different aspect.
We 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? (coming 18 December)
