Summary of report content

Since 2015, My Health, Our Future (MHoF) data has been helping schools, colleges, and integrated care systems to improve support for children and young people. The programme offers reliable insights into the current well-being of young people across Suffolk, providing data to support local decision-making about services, attract funding for local support and inform health and care system strategies around young people’s health and wellbeing.

The programme has recorded over 55,000 responses from young people on topics like bullying, self-harm, body image, social media, anxiety, and many other areas.

The ‘phase seven’ 2023 MHoF survey included a new focus on physical health, prompting young people to share their views on topics like sexual health support, and healthy lifestyles. This report presents the findings from ‘phase 7’ of the MHoF survey for young people in secondary schools and colleges. The survey was completed between December 2022 and July 2023
