Pension Age Winter Heating Payment: Child Rights and Wellbeing Impact Assessment (CRWIA)

Post Assessment Review and sign-off

12. 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?
• When will you review and update the CRWIA if required?

Regular evaluation or review of the benefit following implementation of the policy will be carried out.

There is no expectation that children and young people will be impacted by PAWHP if they are cared for by someone who receives this payment, as the financial assistance provided is expected to be used to support the needs of the individual that the benefit is designed for.

While we have reached the decision that there are no aspects of the proposal which

are deemed relevant to the UNCRC requirements, we will continue to monitor the

impact of the policy throughout the policy development and its implementation and

will review that decision on an ongoing basis.
