School uniform and clothing guidance: child rights and wellbeing impact assessment

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?

The Scottish Government will engage with education authorities, schools, third sector partners and others as appropriate to support implementation of the school clothing and uniform guidance in schools. We will consider further opportunities to support schools to implement this key policy and ensure that we deliver on our commitment to reduce the cost of the school day and support an equal and inclusive approach to school uniform and clothing. As part of this, we will work with partners to consider appropriate measures to review the impact on children’s rights.

We will review this CRWIA within 18 months following publication of the guidance. As part of this, we will seek the views of children and young people to understand the impact of the guidance on their rights and wellbeing.
