This child rights and wellbeing impact assessment (CRWIA) considers the need to update guidance with advice on conducting brief enquiry age assessments.
Post Assessment Review and sign-off
12. Planning for the review of impact on children’s rights and wellbeing
Age assessment practice continues to be monitored with stakeholders on a regular basis; we meet with a group of practitioners and Guardianship Scotland representing the voice of the young people monthly.
The CRWIA will be reviewed when a decision to fully revise guidance is made unless concerns raised from practitioners or young people require a review at an earlier date.
