Abstract
This study attempts to better understand children and young people’s perceptions of safety within
institutions, and their views on how adults and institutions are responding to their safety needs. It is
not a prevalence study and does not attempt to quantify the extent to which children and young
people have encountered abuse. Instead, it asks them to consider how they, adults and institutions
currently demonstrate that they are safe; and the ways they believe adults and institutions act and
would act to keep them safe if they were in a situation where their safety was compromised.
