Take part in the Young Equals survey

Have you ever been treated unfairly because of your age?

Young Equals is gathering evidence of harmful age discrimination against under-18s and wants to hear about your experiences. If you are 18+ and would like to contribute you can answer in relation to your experiences as a child, or in relation to other people’s experiences as a child (such as your own children). We will use this information to help change the law and get legal protection from age discrimination for children. All answers will remain confidential. Complete the survey
