Purpose of the consultation
The Children, Young People and Education
Committee undertook a short inquiry on children’s rights in Wales to review
the impact of the Rights of Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure 2011. It
considered:
- the extent to which the Rights of
Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure 2011 has influenced the Welsh Government’s
decision making, including its financial allocations and whether it has
fulfilled the Convention’s ‘general measures’ of implementation;
- evidence of whether the Measure has led
to improved outcomes for children and young people;
- whether the duties within the Measure
have been embedded effectively across Welsh Government cabinet portfolios
and policy;
- the extent to which the Welsh Government
has sought to ensure that its duties within the Measure are translated
into the work of the public bodies it provides funding to, including local
authorities and NHS bodies;
- the extent to which the Welsh Government
has implemented its duty to promote knowledge and understanding of the
UNCRC amongst the public, including children and young people;
- how the duty to have ‘due regard’ to the
Convention on the Rights of the Child is being implemented in practice and
whether Child Rights Impact Assessments are being used as a meaningful
tool;
- the effectiveness of the Children’s
Right’s Scheme and the most recent Welsh Government compliance report, and
the extent to which they evidence sufficient action on the part of Welsh
Government to ensure full implementation of the Measure;
- how effectively the Welsh Government
responds on a strategic basis to the Concluding Observations of the UN
Committee on the Rights of the Child.
