Survey for Jersey children to include social media for first time

Statistics Jersey said it would explore whether young people had caring responsibilities and enough food for each day.

It said the results would be used across the Government of Jersey to inform policy and improve services.

“We have worked directly with students this year to help shape the content, ensuring it reflects the issues that matter most to them,” Cope added.

“New questions on social media, generative AI, caring responsibilities and food security will help build a more complete picture of the opportunities and challenges facing young people today.”

The final report is due to be published in Spring 2027, officials said, alongside a child-friendly version for schools.
