The Children and Young People's Commissioner for Scotland is inviting applications from 14-17 year-olds to work with their Young Advisers Group and help communicate what matters to young people.
The Young Advisers Group will be placed at the heart of strategic decision-making in Scotland, and address the issues that are affecting children and young people, such as the impact of exams being cancelled, mental health and increasing poverty across Scotland. The Group will help make a difference to children and young people's lives.
