The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) has published the next two reports as part of its annual Children, violence and vulnerability research. The YEF surveyed over 10,000 13- to 17-year-olds in England and Wales about their experiences of violence. The third report focuses on girls’ and boys’ experiences of violence. Findings include that 24% of boys and 16% of girls said they had been a victim of violence in the past year. The report highlights the importance of education and support in promoting healthy relationships among children and young people, with findings indicating that these lessons are not universally taught or consistently reaching those who need them the most. The fourth report explores what young people think about the police.
