As a young person, aged 12 - 26, you are invited to take part in a survey created by the Scottish Youth Parliament (SYP) to feed your views into SYP’s 2026 - 2031 manifesto.
Before you decide whether or not you would like to participate, you can read the information provided here to help you to understand why and how the research is being carried out and what participation will involve. This also includes information about how your data will be handed and stored in line with SYP's Privacy Policy. All questions about the manifesto ideas are optional - you do not need to answer all of them.
Please contact SYP at hello@syp.org.uk if anything is unclear or you have any questions.
If you’re a Young Scot Member, you will earn 150 Rewards Points for completing this survey. There is also an optional prize draw. More information can be found at the end of the survey.
