Children's hearings and pre-hearing panels - composition changes: child rights and wellbeing impact assessment (CRWIA)
An assessment of the impact on children of introducing flexibility into the requirement for children's hearings to have both male and female panel members.
8. How will the impact of the policy/measure be monitored?
The impact will be monitored by Children's Hearings Scotland, the body with operational responsibility. National Convener Guidance will be issued to Area Support Teams on how the flexibility should be employed, and the impact of the change in law will be carefully monitored and a process for data collection has been identified. This will enable monthly internal reporting for an initial period, with Senior Management of Children's Hearings Scotland oversight and review. Significant or unexpected use, should it arise, will be addressed with the rota managers within Children's Hearings Scotland through the existing management and reporting structures.
