Our Policies
As a voice for Scotland's young people, the Scottish Youth Parliament regularly talks about topical issues and forms collective opinions on them. Over time this means that the organisation builds up a number of views on a variety of subjects - these are collected below in our policy log which you can find by clicking here.
We also regularly respond to consultations from the Scottish and UK Governments, Scottish Parliament and other organisations to present the collected opinions of young people in Scotland. You can view some of our recent consultation responses below.
