Manifesto Report
In November 2021, we launched our From Scotland’s Young People Manifesto report. In this, you can find:
- The background to our consultation design and process
- How the manifesto was adapted for ‘unprecedented times’
- A demographics breakdown of survey respondents
Throughout the report you will also find quotes from various seldom heard groups, detailing their own views on these calls and the impact they would have on their lives.
Glossary of Terms
There are some terms and phrases in our manifesto that you may not be sure about. You can find out what they mean in our glossary.
Access our glossary here and an easy read version here.
Regional Summaries
You can also access regional reports for each of SYP’s seven regions, which provide details of the top ten issues for young people living in these areas.
Did you know SYP’s regions are slightly different than the Scottish Parliament’s? You can find the list of SYP regions here.
