Kids' Life and Times Survey, 2018

The <i>Kids' Life and Times Survey</i> (KLT) began in 2008 and is conducted by Access Research Knowledge (ARK) which runs the <a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data">Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey</a> (NILT) and the <a href="https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data">Young Life and Times Survey</a> (YLT). The KLT is a survey of Primary year 7 (P7) children in Northern Ireland which is carried out online and in school. (Note that NILT did not run in 2011, but resumed in 2012. The KLT and YLT both ran as normal in 2011.)<br>
<br>
The aims of the KLT are to:<ul><li>provide broad-based monitoring systems to examine children's views on policy issues on a regular basis</li><li>ensure that the information from the survey is fed back to policymakers and others engaged in the policy debates around children and their lives</li><li>provide a high profile endorsement of 'participation' by Northern Ireland's children</li></ul>Further information about KLT, including the comic-style publication with key results especially designed for children, may be found on the ARK main <a href="http://www.ark.ac.uk/klt/" title="Kids' Life and Times Survey">Kids' Life and Times Survey</a> web pages.<br>

《儿童生活与时代调查》（Kids' Life and Times Survey，简称KLT）于2008年启动，由Access Research Knowledge（简称ARK）运营管理，该机构同时承办《北爱尔兰生活与时代调查》（Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey，简称NILT）与《青年生活与时代调查》（Young Life and Times Survey，简称YLT）的相关工作，两项调查的访问链接均为：https://beta.ukdataservice.ac.uk/datacatalogue/series/series?id=2000040#!/access-data。

KLT是针对北爱尔兰地区小学七年级（Primary year 7，简称P7）儿童开展的调查，采用线上与校内实地相结合的调研方式。（注：NILT于2011年暂停运行，2012年恢复；而KLT与YLT均在2011年按计划正常开展调研）

KLT的调研目标如下：
1. 搭建覆盖广泛的监测体系，定期调研儿童对各项政策议题的看法与观点；
2. 确保将调研所得信息反馈给政策制定者，以及所有参与儿童相关生活与政策讨论的群体；
3. 为北爱尔兰儿童的“参与式实践”提供高规格的背书支持。
