ERIC – school toilets survey
3 January 2024ERIC
ERIC have asked for members to share their survey that has been designed by our group of Young Champions asking students aged 11-18 to tell them what they think about their schools toilets. The link to the survey is here https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/W553XZV The survey is anonymous and will be running throughout Dec and January. Its been sent out to every UK school, and through a network of Young Ambassadors at Participation People, the organisation that is facilitating our young people’s group. This is for all students not just those with bowel/bladder conditions.
Versus Arthritis
The Versus Arthritis school series has been developed with a group of over 30 young people. They shared their experiences and ideas – helping to create new support tools and services for young people living with rheumatic conditions, their families and the professionals who support them.

Some of the films are for young people living with arthritis and their families – sharing top tips and support. Others are for school staff – highlighting how to create inclusive schools and support young people to thrive. Further support can be found on our website – https://www.versusarthritis.org/about-arthritis/young-people/living-with-arthritis/#young-people-living-with-arthritis_school.
A downloadable schools booklet for school staff (free to order print copy coming November 2023) is available on our online shop : Versus Arthritis Shop. A Welsh version of the films and booklet will be available in early 2024.
