Tied Pubs (Scotland) Act 2021 implementation - secondary legislation: child rights and wellbeing impact assessment screening

Child rights and wellbeing impact assessment screening document for the secondary legislation to implement the Tied Pubs (Scotland) Act 2021, which declares that a full assessment is not required.


Declaration

4. Is a Stage 2 Children’s Rights and Wellbeing Impact Assessment required? (Tick relevant requirement) (Guidance Section 2.1)

CRWIA required - No explanation required, please complete questions 5 and 6

CRWIA not required - X - Please explain why below and contact the children’s rights unit to discuss this decision crwia@gov.scot

Explanation why CRWIA is not required:

No – based on estimates of the numbers of tied pubs, we envisage implementation will affect a small number of individuals. This policy does not directly affect the rights of children. Any effects are likely to be indirect as a result of their parent being a tied pub tenant or working for a pub-owning business. It could impact on those parents’ ability to provide for an adequate standard of living for their children as the policy will shape how the tied pubs sector works and it could improve the position of tied pub tenants.
