Young Person Consultations
As part of our consultation on the SWEIC Plan: A Refreshed Vision for 22/23, our officers have met with young people from across our Local Authorities to hear their views and suggestions. Conversations continue this week and we are sure we will hear more interesting and thought provoking ideas from our young people.
Don’t forget to have your say! There’s still time for you to give us your thoughts and opinions. Head over to the consultation page for more info.
