Carer Support Payment: child rights and wellbeing impact assessment
This Child rights and wellbeing impact assessment (CRWIA) sets out to assess the impact of the Carer’s Assistance (Carer Support Payment) (Scotland) Regulations 2023 on children and young people. It builds on, and should be read alongside the Equality Impact Assessment.
Scope of the CRWIA
This impact assessment covers the changes to be made through regulation at launch, case transfer from Carer’s Allowance to Carer Support Payment, and also looks at impacts on child rights and wellbeing as a result of our wider Carer Support Payment policy. We will continue to consider and monitor impacts through ongoing policy development and evaluation and publish further impact assessment documents with future regulations.
