11. Planning for the review of impact on children’s rights and wellbeing. As part of the decision-making process, plans for reviewing the impact on children’s rights and wellbeing need to be developed.
- 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?
Establishment of a Student Mental Health Action Plan Delivery Group
It is proposed to establish a Student Mental Health Action Plan Delivery Group. The group will be formed to assist with, and inform, the delivery of the five actions in the Action Plan.
To do that the Group will:
- Support the bringing together of relevant actors at a local, regional or national level, so that they in turn may explore and share solutions to improving access to services.
- Contribute a range of perspectives and offer advice and support to Scottish Government, colleges, universities, representative bodies, NHS Scotland, local authorities, and the third sector on the implementation of the Action Plan.
Regular review of the impact of this policy on children’s rights and wellbeing will be done as part of this delivery.
