Post Assessment Review and sign-off

16. Planning for the review of impact on children’s rights and wellbeing.

As part of the decision-making process, plans for reviewing the impact on children’s rights and wellbeing need to be developed.

  • How will the impact of the proposal on children’s rights and wellbeing be monitored?

As in Question 2 although this CRWIA has been assessed as neutral in terms of impact, future work to implement the recommendations of this report will have CRWIAs prepared and published, and those will focus on the specific impact of actions and the evidence gathered to inform the impact of actioning these recommendations.

  • When will you review and update the CRWIA if required?

As above, future work to implement the recommendations of this report will have separate CRWIAs prepared and published, and those will focus on the specific impact of actions and the evidence gathered to inform the impact of actioning these recommendations.
