Youth resilience survey

The resilience survey asks young people 99 questions about their lives in and out of school. The survey asks young people about their thoughts and feelings related to school, family, friendships, community and themselves.

Some example questions are:

• Do you feel safe at school?
• Do you have 2 or more groups of friends?
• Do you have an adult in your life who listens?
• How many times have you been bullied in the last 12 months?

No. All survey responses are anonymous and students non-identified. The resilience survey is a cohort-based analysis only.  All those that complete the survey use the same login details, ensuring confidentiality to encourage honest and open responses.

Yes. The resilience survey results from any one group are strictly available only to that group.  Merri-bek Youth and Council will not have access to your group's data but they will recieve a summary of data from the Merri-bek area.

We strongly advise that as many young people from the group as possible complete the survey.  This will provide a more meaningful dataset.

The resilience survey takes place online, and takes about 40 minutes total to complete. Older students in secondary school have reported doing the survey in 20 to 30 minutes.

If you would like to organise for a group to take the survey, whether than is a group of friends, a youth agency, or your school, the best way to get this started is to contact our Youth Projects Coordinator Damien Woodcock at dwoodcock@moreland.vic.gov.au. You can also talk to us by calling 9389 8647.

Within 3 to 4 weeks you will receive a comprehensive 70 page report for each year level and an Executive Summary Report, presenting all year levels cross-sectionally. In addition to the resilience survey, you will be provided with opportunity to attend a data insights workshop to fully understand your group's results.
