Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Kids' Life and Times Survey (KLT) began in 2008 and is conducted by Access Research Knowledge (ARK) which runs the Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey (NILT) and the Young Life and Times Survey (YLT). The KLT is a survey of Primary year 7 (P7) children in Northern Ireland which is carried out online and in school. (Note that NILT did not run in 2011, but resumed in 2012. The KLT and YLT both ran as normal in 2011.) The aims of the KLT are to:provide broad-based monitoring systems to examine children's views on policy issues on a regular basisensure that the information from the survey is fed back to policymakers and others engaged in the policy debates around children and their livesprovide a high profile endorsement of 'participation' by Northern Ireland's childrenFurther information about KLT, including the comic-style publication with key results especially designed for children, may be found on the ARK main Kids' Life and Times Survey web pages.
