Children's Rights and Wellbeing Impact Assessment guidance

Guidance on how to complete a Children's Rights and Wellbeing Screening Sheet and Impact Assessment (CRWIA). Includes links to useful resources for gathering evidence, involving children and young people in the development of your policy/measure and ensuring decisions are necessary and proportionate.


CRWIA Approach

CRWIA follows accepted impact assessment practice, and should take place as early as possible in the policy development cycle. The CRWIA takes the UNCRC as its starting point for measuring policy/measures for their compliance with the Articles of the Convention. Then it asks you to consider how the policy/measure will advance the realisation of children's rights in Scotland. You must provide evidence to support your conclusions.
