Two participants scored 1 Two participants scored 2 Two participants scored 3 One participant scored 4 One participant scored 5 Two participants scored 7 One participant scored 8 * * One participant gave 2 scores, one from the perspective as a Third Sector worker (8/10) and another from the perspective of someone who lives in rural North Scotland (2/10). When expressing reasons for ratings, those who gave a low score (1s, 2s, 3s, and 4s) told us that: • “As an individual it’s difficult to know which direction to go in” • “I don't do well with signing petitions and stuff like that” • I’ve only ever spoken to my MSP, nobody else in any way connected to Parliament • “I would like more provisions for disabled people to get involved” • “North East feels very different from the rest of Scotland, which leads to a feeling of disconnect” Those who gave relatively higher scores (5s, 7s & 8) told us that: • They’d previously engaged by signing petitions • They’d engaged as a Member of the Scottish Youth Parliament but “before becoming an MSYP felt like I was told to “go away” and there wasn’t interest in hearing my views.”
