Children's Rights
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 14 October 2014 to Question 210316, if she will publish the child rights impact assessments made in respect of the legislative proposals leading to the Education Act 2011 and the Children and Families Act 2014.
- Answer
-
The approach the Department for Education has adopted is to make the assessment of children’s rights an integral part of policy and legislative development rather than a one-off exercise. The results of this approach are reflected in the equality impact assessment published for the Education Act 2011.[1]
Our consideration of children’s rights during the legislative process also takes account of advice from the Joint Committee on Human Rights.
The Office of the Children’s Commissioner is an independent non-Departmental public body and is responsible for publishing the reports it produces.[2]
The ECHR and UNCRC note on the Children and Families Act 2014.[3]
