A Circular Economy Strategy for Scotland – Children 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

• 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?

We do not believe that the publication of the Strategy itself will directly impact on children’s rights and wellbeing. However, it is possible that some of the individual priorities may have a range of impacts, subject to their design and implementation.

It is recommended that as individual priorities and their actions are being developed, they are subject to the impact assessment process as required to ensure any impacts are identified, mitigated (if negative), maximised (if positive) and monitored. Dependent on the relevant measure, stakeholder engagement with relevant representative groups and those with lived experience may be helpful as measures are developed.

Findings and evidence gathered from this and other related impact assessments will be maintained and updated as necessary to support future related Strategies (the Strategy must be updated every 5 years).
