The answer

Answered by Adam Ingram on 6 Mar 2008 · 23 days after it was lodged, on time

There are a range of successful local youth engagement models across Scotland, including Highland Youth Voice. While the Government is keen to encourage local youth participation, it is for local authorities to work with local young people to determine the best model for their area.
The Scottish Government supports the Scottish Youth Parliament (SYP) in empowering young people across Scotland to influence decisions affecting their own lives and those of their schools and communities. Young people from rural areas and the Islands are represented on the SYP.
