This third #LockdownLowdown survey gathered responses from over 2,400 young people across Scotland in Spring 2021 to understand the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as lockdown restrictions began to ease. Key findings show that most secondary school pupils were unhappy with their assessment arrangements, mental health and wellbeing remained a significant concern for many young people, and confidence in future employment was mixed. Young people consistently called for more mental health support, careers advice in schools, and a return to in-person learning and socialising.
