How will youth involvement be managed?
If children under the age of 12 are selected for the child survey, the child’s parent or legal guardian must participate on behalf of the child.
For youth participants ages 12 to 15, a parent or legal guardian must provide informed consent for their participation. Additionally, the youth’s parent or legal guardian can choose whether they want to accompany their child during the survey. Youth ages 16 and over can provide informed consent and participate in the survey without a parent or caregiver present.
