Scottish Youth Parliament / YouthLink Scotland / Young Scot · 2020
This survey of 2,421 young people across Scotland captured their concerns about COVID-19 during the first national lockdown in April 2020. Key findings show that nearly two-thirds were moderately or extremely concerned about the impact of coronavirus on their future, and around two-fifths were concerned about their own mental wellbeing. Young people reported least confidence in accessing information about mental health support and financial support, and over half expressed concern about their ability to access their rights. The findings were shared with stakeholders to feed into policy design and service provision.
