Have your say as Young Scot are looking to find out what life is like as a young person in Scotland.
Young Scot want to find out more about what it’s like being a young person in Scotland. The Big Survey asks young people for their thoughts on what is important to them now and for the future. From politics to health and climate change, the questions also ask what concerns young people, how they manage their money and what they think about technology, phone usage and AI.
Young Scot will use the results to better understand what life is like for young people and to help develop services that meet their needs.
Young people who take part in the survey get 150 Young Scot Rewards points and a chance to win an Apple Watch SE!
Find out more and have your say by completing the survey on the Young Scot website.
