Unfortunately the “link to survey” button in the recent post is not working on some sites. This is the survey URL: Workforce Mobility Project – Young Scot Survey (surveymonkey.co.uk)

The Workforce Mobility Project would like young people to complete a short five minute survey. This is a great opportunity to highlight the transport and digital barriers and challenges which impact you and your families.

This survey is for all young people, and is asking about all forms of transport, from walking, public transport, personal car use and all points in between. It is also important to hear the voices of young people who might otherwise be ignored, such as young people with disabilities, and their experience of transport in the area.

The Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal (ESESCRD) is made up of a number of projects which  aim to accelerate growth, create new economic opportunities, and meaningful new jobs that will help to reduce inequalities. You can find out more at their website.

One thing that is important to many young people in the area is transport. The Workforce Mobility Project part of ESESCRD aims to identify and mitigate the transport barriers which prevent access to employment or training across the region.

All those who complete the survey (link below) and provide contact details will be included in a prize draw for a £50 Amazon voucher for their region. A prize draw will be completed for each of the regions – Edinburgh, East Lothian, West Lothian, Midlothian, Scottish Borders and Fife.

The full list of questions in the survey is as follows. (note that depending on their responses not every young person will be asked every question)

1. Which region do you live in?
2. What is your age? 
3. are you able to get to work/college etc without a lift from a family member/friend?
4. Has Transport been a barrier for you to access employment, training or further education? You can select more than one answer
5. What is the postcode (minus the last digit e.g. TD6 9A_) of the starting point of your journey and the postcode of the destination, either your place of work, training or further education? 
6. Have you received any support in overcoming these transport barriers? 
7. What support has been provided?
8. Is the support provided in overcoming these transport barriers a long-term solution? 
9. Have you experienced any barriers in relation to walking or cycling in relation to accessing your place of work, training or further education? 
10. If you would like to discuss further and be eligible for the [voucher competition] please complete sections below with your contact details

An online questionnaire to gather the views of local communities on the council’s existing learning estate will go live on Monday (22 February 2021). Phase 1 of the Learning Estate Review pre-consultation has been designed to offer schools and communities the opportunity to share their opinions on the condition of the existing learning estate. The pre-consultation will also gather views on how well the school estate supports learning. The questionnaire will run from 22 February – 15 March on the council’s Consultation Hub, to provide an easy and accessible way for people to participate. Phase 2 of the process will involve a series of online community engagement workshops, which will run from 10 – 28 May. The survey is available to view here and will be live for responses from Monday 22 February 2021.
