There is also another online consultation being run through Young Scot about Child Poverty -

'Young Scot has teamed up with the Scottish Government to put together this survey to ask young people across Scotland (aged 11 to 18 years old) what they think about the new Child Poverty Strategy for Scotland.

'Poverty' is quite a complicated issue as it is caused by lots of different things. Living in poverty can mean going without the basic necessities in life: nutritious food, warm clothing, decent housing, heating and a good education.
It can also mean missing out on birthday celebrations, school trips and family outings - the sorts of things many families take for granted.

The Strategy is basically how the Scottish Government is going to tackle the issue of child poverty and what they're going to do.

Your views are very important so please let us know what you think.

After you've completed the survey you can enter into a free prize draw to win £50 iTunes vouchers, just by leaving your contact details.'
