Planning for the Youngedinburgh Citywide Youth Issues Forum

The Youth Services Advisory Committee (YSAC) is currently looking at the future of young people’s participation in citywide decision making in Edinburgh. The goal is to explore how existing arrangements can be refreshed to meet the needs of young people in a better way while also aligning them with current arrangements for local community planning.

A working group made up of young people, YSAC members and officers has been tasked with proposing a model for the future of young people’s citywide participation. Over the past few months, this group has looked at successful models of youth participation in Scotland and beyond. Based on this research, the group has proposed a model for young people’s participation in Edinburgh based on a citywide youth issues forum. The results of the current consultation will be used to produce a final report to go to the Youth Services Advisory Committee in March, 2010.
