Social Security (Amendment) (Scotland) Bill: child rights and wellbeing impact assessment
This child rights and wellbeing impact assessment (CRWIA) considers the potential impacts of the Social Security (Amendment) (Scotland) Bill on children's rights and wellbeing.
Post Assessment Review and sign-off
Communicating impact to children and young people
Both the CRWIA and EQIA will be published on the Scottish Government website.
Organisations who work with, support and represent children and young people will be directly emailed to inform them about the Bill and impact assessments being published.
It is also the intention to publish factsheets about the content of the Bill to help people understand what the Bill will do and how the policies will affect them. The final content of the factsheets is yet to be decided but the intention is that they will be accessible, inclusive and laid out in an easy-to-understand format.
Planning for the review of impact on child rights (Stage 3)
Monitoring and evaluation plans for the Bill are currently being developed and consideration of impact on the rights of children and young people, including Stage 3 of the CRWIA, are being factored into this.
