12. Planning for the review of impact on children’s rights and wellbeing
The CPD regime could be subject to monitoring and evaluation. There could be continual monitoring and evaluation of the regime as well as a periodical review.
We could ensure that children’s rights and wellbeing are taken into account in the monitoring and evaluation activities.
The CRWIA will be reviewed and updated when there is a periodical review of the CPD regime, or when there are substantial changes made to its policy and all the required impact assessments need to be revised.
As noted, Scottish Ministers have not made any decisions on the CPD regime.
