Today we launch, with our #ScotYouthandCOVID3 Young Consultants, a survey on the DRAFT MANIFESTO FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE. You can read this draft in full on its own website HERE.
Our Young Consultants now want to hear from as many children and young people across Scotland as possible to check if the draft is right. Anyone under the age of 18, and resident in Scotland, can take part by 30th November 2022 – click here to take our survey!
You can also access a Facilitator’s Pack here if you want to run a group session with children and young people, and then input the response into THE SURVEY.
Please take part and pass on the message. Our Young Consultants want this work to be seen and contributed to by children and young people across ages, circumstances and geographies. We’re all really grateful to everyone that takes part! Please pass this on to anyone and everyone who might be interested.
Here’s why our Young Consultants want other children and young people to be part of it:
More About the #ScotYouthandCOVID Project
In January 2022, we resumed workshops for STAGE 3 of APiC’s COVID-19 Project with Children and Young People. Supported by the Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland (CYPCS), #ScotYouthandCOVID3 recalled the Young Consultants who participated in our original two stages of the project.
The study is a participant-led project involving teams from Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and (Rural) Stirlingshire and Falkirk, each with 4-6 boys and girls, aged 10-16 in the first round, and now ages 12-18.
We ended #ScotYouthandCOVID2 with a set of 34 Asks to Scottish Government to improve children and young people’s experiences now and in the future. Our Young Consultants also devised a strategy to create a Manifesto for Children and Young People’s Rights in Recovery that supports the needs of as many across Scotland as possible.
In this next stage, we are fulfilling the Young Consultants’ strategy from #ScotYouthandCOVID2. This has included holding more workshops with our original Young Consultants, primary school children, and other groups that have thus far not had enough opportunity to be heard in the pandemic. WE NOW HAVE A DRAFT MANIFESTO AND WE NEED YOUR HELP (Click here to read it in full)!
THE CLOSING DATE TO TAKE PART is 30th November 2022. We can’t wait to hear from you, and if you have any questions just email Jenny Wood at: info@thechildrenandyoungpeoplesmanifesto.scot
