The Health Related Behaviour Survey (HRBS) has been running in Wolverhampton since 2006. The survey is carried out as a way of consulting with pupils and collecting robust information about young people’s health and wellbeing. It is conducted with pupils in primary and secondary phase settings, who are asked to complete an anonymous on-line version of the survey appropriate for their age group.

It is so important for us to understand the views and experiences of our children and young people to ensure they live healthily and thrive within our City. Being and staying healthy, both physically and emotionally, is crucial for a fulfilling life in general and for attainment at school. Habits, attitudes, influences and environments are all components to achieving a healthy lifestyle.

The information in this report will help City of Wolverhampton Council and its partners to better understand the attitudes, behaviours and lifestyle choices of our children and young people. In addition, it will help identify priorities and plan provision in relation to young people’s health and wellbeing.
