Member’s Bill seeks to secure legal right to youth work in Scotland
Created: 16/12/2024Scottish Labour MSP Martin Whitfield has launched a public consultation on the Youth Work (Scotland) Bill, which seeks to give young people aged 11 to 25 a legal right to access high-quality youth work services.
This legislation aims to embed youth work as a statutory service, ensuring equitable provision for all young people and addressing longstanding disparities in access and support. If enacted, the legislation would establish a legal right for all young people aged 11 to 25 to access high-quality youth work services, setting a new standard for equitable provision across Scotland.
Consultation closes on Friday 21 February 2025.
