Forensic Medical Services (Victims of Sexual Offences) (Scotland) Act 2021: child rights and welfare impact assessment
This is an update of the Child Rights and Wellbeing Impact Assessment (CRWIA), which was published in 2019 to accompany the introduction of the Bill for the Forensic Medical Services (Victims of Sexual Offences) (Scotland) Act 2021 (the “FMS Act”).
Children and young people's views and experiences
The original CRWIA highlighted the sensitive nature of this subject and the reasoning behind no direct engagement being had with child victims in the context of the Bill or Act.
Children 1st continue to be a key stakeholder of the CMO Taskforce and is a member of the CYPEG. There have been opportunities for the CMO Taskforce to hear feedback from stakeholders at the CYPEG and where appropriate, for this to influence the direction of work.
