What do you think about a social media ban for under 16s? What will be the impact for young people and what are the issues that the youth work sector needs to engage with right now? Are there alternative approaches?

This survey is for those who work with children and young people in Scotland. YouthLink Scotland need as many youth workers as possible to get involved.

The UK Government is currently consulting on children and young people’s social media use and exploring what further legislation is required and what further action they will take in this area. The youth work voice is important in this conversation.

YouthLink Scotland is gathering your views on this important issue so they can:

  • Understand views from the youth work sector in Scotland
  • Contribute those views to the UK Government consultation
  • Develop key ideas and approaches to enable the youth work sector to contribute in this important area and support young people in Scotland

Click here to take the survey.

There is also a specific survey for young people aged 10-21. Young people can complete that survey here.

Closing date: Monday 04 May 2026
