Together member YouthLink Scotland is looking for the input of children and young people to inform their response to the UK Government’s consultation on social media use. 

The UK Government is exploring what further legislation is required and what further action they will take in this area. The youth work voice is important in this conversation. 

 
YouthLink Scotland is gathering views on this important issue so it can: 

  • Understand views from the youth work sector in Scotland 

  • Contribute those views to the UK Government consultation 

  • Develop key ideas and approaches to enable the youth work sector to contribute in this important area and support young people in Scotland 

 

This survey will be open until Monday 4th May 2026
