Survey for Secondary School Students

Survey for School Students
This survey is all about the services and facilities for young people in Tipperary Town.

This survey is part of a research project that aims to find out what services and spaces are helpful for young people and what could be improved.

Before you begin, it's important to know that your participation is entirely voluntary. You don't have to complete the survey if you don't want to, and you can stop at any time. Your answers will be kept confidential and used only for this research project.

The survey will ask you about places you visit, like youth clubs, sports facilities, libraries, and health clinics. We want to know if you find them easy to use and if there are any other services you think would be helpful.

These questions should take around 10 minutes to complete.

Thank you for taking part in this survey. Your voice matters, and we're eager to hear from you.
