Energy Performance of Buildings (Scotland) Regulations 2025: children's rights and wellbeing impact assessment
Children's rights and wellbeing impact assessment (CRWIA) produced as part of our intention to lay updated Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) regulations in October 2025. This CRWIA has considered the evidence to understand any Children’s rights and wellbeing outcomes.
Post Assessment Review and sign-off
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?
If new information comes to light throughout the implementation of the regulations, this will be assessed for any potential impact on children. However, this is not anticipated due to the nature of the regulations.
Disclaimer
This document is a point in time assessment of the likely effects of The Energy Performance of Buildings (Scotland) Regulations 2025 on the rights and wellbeing of children and young people. This impact assessment should be read in conjunction with other impact assessments prepared for this proposal.
The Scottish Government acknowledges the importance of monitoring and evaluating the impact of strategic decisions and legislation on children’s rights and wellbeing. Any information gathered during implementation of the legislation or strategic decision to which the impact assessment relates, will be used to inform future determinations of impact. Any new strategic decision or new legislation (including amending legislation) would be subject to a new CRWIA in line with the legislative requirements.
