Public Affairs

Our public affairs team works across a variety of issues impacting the youth work sector in Scotland.

We promote our policy objectives with the Scottish and UK Governments and with politicians at Holyrood, Westminster and Local Councils.  

On behalf of the youth work sector we build strong relationships with governments, politicians and other stakeholders, raising awareness and affecting change for youth workers and the young people they work with.
