Primary School Survey 2024

Kent's Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Scott has created this survey because he wants to know your experiences of smartphones, cyberbullying and online safety.

We really want to understand what people your age deal with, be it pestering on the street or online bullying, and what you think should be done to stop it.

Your answers will help us develop ways to help you. This survey is anonymous. It does not ask for your name or contact details.

No-one will know what answers you give either, so please be honest.
