Tackling mental health, knife crime and poverty were among the issues highlighted by the professionals as the issues they wanted politicians to take seriously.
Jamie Cutteridge, Premier Youth and Children's Work magazine's editor said he hopes the findings will help drive the conversation around what really impacts on children and young people.
He said: "In a decade which has seen a mental health crisis among young people, sweeping cuts to youth and children's provision and people waking up to holiday hunger, the needs of children and young people are complex but well-known.

"In this context, it's shocking how few words in this election campaign have focused on children and young people."
Premier asked figures from a broad range of organisations to compile a list of steps politicians could take to help ensure the UK is a place when young people can flourish.
Mental health was high on the agenda with many calling for more to be done to reduce anxiety.
Author and children's work expert Rachel Turner said she wants to see additional support for parents, explaining: "I would love to see funding for parents to learn skills and grow in confidence to become available.
"If we could improve the emotional, physical and mental wellbeing of parents and children through healthy family life, our nation would significantly change."
The pressures facing working families living in poverty have been blamed for contributing to mental health issues in children with those living in debt cited by The Children's Society as being five time more likely to feel unhappy.
Esther Elliot is the Christian charity's Church Engagement Co-ordinator and advocated for more to be done in this area.
She said: "There is currently no statutory scheme to support people in temporary financial difficulty who are trying to repay their debts.
We would recommend introducing a breathing space scheme, giving families time and space to repay their debts."
Other contributions came from the YMCA who work in 740 communities across England and Wales, who said more could be done to leverage employment opportunities.
Meanwhile, Christian rap artist Guvna B said he wanted to see more being done to fight serious youth violence.
