In 2006, Bournemouth Youth Service, Connexions and the Bournemouth Partnership decided to carry out a survey of young people’s attitudes,opinions and behaviour so that they could improve the services they provide for young people in Bournemouth. This survey was carried out in
conjunction with researchers from Bournemouth University’s Community Development, Engagement and Participation Academic Group. This survey follows two others carried out by Bournemouth Youth Service in 1997 and 2000. Sufficient similarities exist to draw broad comparisons between this data and the findings in 2000, and to gain some sense of
how young people’s attitudes and behaviours have changed during this time
