Sussex children will be asked what they think about the police.
The survey for 11 to 25-year-olds will run throughout the summer and will be used to shape Sussex Police services for young people.
Chief Inspector Laurence Taylor said: "The purpose of the survey is to give young people and children the opportunity to share their experience and opinions of the police in their area, good or bad, in confidence and to suggest what improvements could be made.
"We know the perception of police by young people will significantly influence their attitude towards us, which in turn will affect whether or not they would report offences in the future or step forward as witnesses.
"The survey is one of many initiatives currently underway to better understand and communicate with children and young people. The results of the survey will be published on the Children and Young People's website for Sussex Police in the autumn, which is currently being developed in consultation with a variety of youth groups."
