A range of data sources informs the work of Young Flintshire and decision making.
Some examples of the data sources are summarised below:
3 Issues Survey
The ‘3 issues survey’ is coordinated by the Youth Council. Young people aged 11-18 years across Flintshire are invited to share their top three topics that they feel need to be explored further for young people. The ‘3 issues’ identified for 2025-2026 can be viewed below, along with the three priorities that were identified in April 2024 for 2024-2025.
