What does your child want to see in Midlothian’s future?

18 June 2026

Your child sees Midlothian differently than you do. They notice what happens at school, what the buses are like, whether the local park is safe, what job opportunities look like from their perspective. That matters.

The Midlothian Young Citizens’ Panel is now open to anyone aged 11–17 living in Midlothian. Your child can share their views on the issues that affect them — from education and transport to health, green spaces, community safety, and more.

They’ll receive surveys on Vision 2050: Single Midlothian Plan, 2027–2030 — either online or by post. Their views will help to shape Midlothian’s priorities for 2027–2030 and beyond.

Young people’s views will be heard by the Midlothian Community Planning Partnership, including Midlothian Council, NHS Lothian, Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Scottish Ambulance Service and many more.

Share this opportunity with your child to sign up.

IMPORTANT – For anyone under 16, Engage Scotland will send a parent or guardian an email with a link to confirm their consent. It takes just two minutes to approve.
