National Youth Information Framework

Young people need information at different stages and times in their lives in response to different situations. The National Youth Information Framework has been developed to drive towards a nation of informed young people. 

The National Youth Information Framework (NYIF) was developed by Young Scot in partnership with the Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC) and the Scottish Government.

Launched in November 2010, the Framework targets all organisations and professionals who are involved in developing and providing information for and with young people. The aim is to bring organisations and professionals together to provide a more effective service for young people.

An enhancement of services and products will improve the flow of communication, and consequently the relationship between organisations and young people will strengthen.

You can download the NYIF and individual self-assessment templates by clicking on the links below. Word versions of the self-assessments are available on request.
