Children's hearings redesign - policy proposals: consultation

Consultation on the redesign of Scotland’s children’s hearings system to build on its strengths so that it can deliver the best possible experience to the children and families in need of its support. It focusses on areas which may require changes to the law.


10. Assessing Impact

10.1 Background

The Scottish Government propose to carry out impact assessments alongside the development of any new legislation which would be required to implement the changes proposed in this consultation.

Impact Assessment, Equality Impact Assessment (related to the protected

characteristics of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil
