Background: Person-centred care is vital to delivering high quality care that focuses on the recipient’s needs and preferences. Person-centred care measurement is needed to understand improvement priorities. There are perceived challenges with understanding person-centred care in children and young people relating to ethics, variations in development and communication abilities, in addition to challenges regarding any symptoms and treatment.  Approach: When seeking feedback about children’s healthcare, it is important to consider the views of both the patient/child and their parents/carers. Evidence suggest views may differ, so it is important to gather both perspectives1. Surveys are widely used to gather feedback from patients. Those for children and young people should be developed in collaboration with them to ensure they are appropriate in terms of: Design – materials should be engaging. Wording and terminology – language should be comprehensible to a younger audience. Topic – we should ask about things that matter to them. Cognitive testing2 of surveys ensures people interpret questions as intended, and a pilot can trial the data collection methods. Examples: We have developed several survey programmes in England to gather feedback from children and their parents/carers on care experiences, including: The Under 16 Cancer Patient Experience Survey on behalf of NHS England. The Children and Young People’s Patient Experience Survey on behalf of the Care Quality Commission – focussing on hospital inpatient and day care. Insight from these surveys is used by care providers and commissioners to understand and improve person-centred care.
