Each year, the survey samples around 4,000 children and young people aged 8 -15 years across two survey waves, one in term time and one in holiday time.Waves 5 and 6 of the C-PaNS ran between the 16 and 23 August 2023 (during the school holidays) and 18 and 26 September 2023 (during term-time). Wave 7 and 8 ran between the 14 and 25 August 2024 (during the school holidays) and the 16 September and 2 October 2024 (during the term-time).
