Have your say: Parent & Carer Survey on Youth Vaping

Posted on: November 29, 2025

Essex County Council is conducting important research into youth vaping and is seeking views from parents and carers of children aged 9–14 in Essex.

Your insight will help shape future support and a new county-wide campaign to help families have non-judgemental conversations about the risks of vaping for young people.

The survey is anonymous, takes 10 minutes, and is open to all parents and carers—whether or not your child vapes.

🗓 Open until: Sunday 14 December
📝 Take the survey: https://research.potentia-insight.co.uk/survey/selfserve/53b/251117#?

Your feedback will directly support future work to protect the health and wellbeing of young people in Essex.

This survey aims to understand your attitudes to youth vaping, talking about it with your child, and what resources might be helpful to support this.

The findings will be summarised in a report which will be used by Essex County Council to inform services and materials to support parents, schools and young people around vaping. The report will be kept indefinitely and may be shared in the public domain on the Essex Open Data Platform (Essex Youth Vaping | Essex Open Data).  Insight may be taken from the report and used for other relevant projects and shared with other partners.
