Post Assessment Review and sign-off

12. Planning for the review of impact on children’s rights and wellbeing (Guidance Section 3.2, pages 31).

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

Part One

The criminal justice modernisation provisions in the Bill will be implemented by justice agencies and as such we anticipate they will have responsibility for ensuring that impact of the provisions on children and young people’s well-being is monitored.

Part Two

The impact of the proposal on children’s rights and wellbeing will continue to be monitored by the Domestic Homicide and Suicide Review Taskforce, Model Development Subgroup, and Children and Young People Group as the work progresses. The discussions and decision made by the above-mentioned groups will inform future reviews and amendments of the CRWIA.
