Proposed Youth Work (Scotland) Bill
Created: 02/12/2024
News/Events Category: Consultations
This item will show under the following categories: Children and Families
A proposal for a Bill to ensure accessible, well-funded, and high-quality youth work services across Scotland, supporting the holistic development, well-being, and social inclusion of young people, and ensuring equal opportunities for all, regardless of background or circumstance.
Youth work is a vital part of Scotland’s commitment to ensuring that every young person can succeed, regardless of their background, location, or circumstances. It provides opportunities for learning, personal development, and community engagement that complement formal schooling. However, youth work services across Scotland are inconsistent, leaving many young people—especially those in rural or deprived areas— without the support they need to thrive.
This proposal for a Bill seeks to create a legal requirement for local authorities to ensure that youth work services are universally available, including universal, targeted, and detached youth work across various settings including schools and community spaces. Doing so guarantees that all young people have equitable access to the support needed to succeed in life.
