Manifesto 2026
We’re asking policymakers to adopt a Trusted Adult Guarantee.
Help ensure every young person who needs one has a Trusted Adult to find a path to a brighter future across Scotland.
A Trusted Adult is a consistent, reliable person who holds a vital place in the wider support network of a young person.
Every young person has a vital spark within them – a unique potential waiting to be seen, nurtured, and set alight. Through encouragement, empathy, and belief, a Trusted Adult becomes the catalyst to igniting the vital spark.
