12. Planning for the review of impact on children’s rights and wellbeing

  • 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 implementation of the guidance will be monitored by SAGRABIS as part of their overall responsibility for the Relationships and behaviour in schools: national action plan. School attendance statistics and trends will be monitored through Summary statistics for schools in Scotland data. New measures have also been added to the Behaviour in Scottish Schools Research to capture data and trends relevant to attendance and engagement such as pupils being in school but not in class.
