The Scottish Youth Parliament has opened its consultation on its next manifesto. The manifesto will shape the campaigning direction of the organisation until 2031 and it's an excellent opportunity for young people to have their voices heard on the issues affecting them.
The consultation includes a nationwide digital survey and a series of focus groups. These will help decide which shortlisted policies should be included in SYP’s 2026-31 manifesto. There are 31 proposed policy ideas under five themes which are:
- Education
- Public services
- Sustainability
- Social justice
- Rights
All young people aged 12 to 25 are encouraged to take part. The more responses received, the more accurately the manifesto will reflect the needs and priorities of Scotland’s young people.
