There are two parts to the consultation, a digital nationwide survey, and a series of focus groups, both of which will find out which of our shortlisted policies should be included in our manifesto for 2026-2031.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">The Scottish Youth Parliament is a youth-led and rights-based organisation that is passionate about making young people aware of their rights and ensuring that local and national governments uphold their rights. In North Lanarkshire, we have 9 Members of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYPs) from all over the authority that represent the views of our young people at a national level.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">The MSYPs are working hard to share the current manifesto consultation and would greatly appreciate your support by sharing the survey within all our schools.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">Anyone aged 12 to 25 can complete the survey and the more responses we receive, the more representative the manifesto will be, making it easier for our MSYPs to advocate for change on behalf of Scotland\u2019s young people!<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">You can access the\u00a0survey here:<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">\u00a0<a id=\"LPlnkOWA687d9ebb-f5af-81a0-bf34-044a720d2744\" class=\"x_OWAAutoLink x_elementToProof\" title=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/P6OZ65\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/P6OZ65\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"0\">https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/P6OZ65\/<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">The consultation is open to all young people aged between 12 and 25.\u00a0<b>The closing date for the consultation is Sunday 27 April 2025.<\/b><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\">The final manifesto will be launched later this year, and SYP will be using it to ask the decision makers and political parties running for election to include ideas from young people in their plans.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x_elementToProof\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every five years, in line with Scottish Parliament elections, SYP produces and publishes a new manifesto.
