1) Name and brief description of the proposed decision Decision' means: • an Assembly proposition • an amendment (or further amendment) to a proposition • for Ministerial duty-bearers, policy under development |
The Draft Heritage (Jersey) Law 202- (the draft Law') would, if adopted, seek to protect Jersey's archaeological heritage by introducing clear legal obligations for reporting, recording, and preserving objects of archaeological significance. The legislation, if adopted, will ensure compliance with international commitments under the Valletta Convention and other heritage treaties, while promoting responsible discovery and public access to important finds. By creating a statutory Historic Environment Record, licensing intrusive excavations, and enabling regulations for wider heritage protection, the draft Law would strengthen Jersey's ability to safeguard its heritage for future generations. |
2) Which groups of children and young people are likely to be affected? Groups of children could include early years, primary or secondary education; young adults; children with additional learning needs; disabled children; children living in poverty; children from particular ethnic backgrounds; migrants; refugees; care experienced children and LGBTQ+ children |
The Draft Heritage (Jersey) Law 202 is not likely to impact any specific groups of children. |
3) What is the likely impact of the proposed decision on children and on their rights? Impacts may be positive or negative, direct or indirect Include whether different groups of children will be affected differently by the decision |
The Draft Heritage (Jersey) Law 202 is likely to neither positively or negatively impact children. |
4) Is a full Children's Rights Impact Assessment required? If you have identified impacts on children and their rights, a full CRIA should be completed. If no impacts are identified then a Full CRIA is not required, but please explain your rationale and how you reached this conclusion |
It is not considered that a full CRIA is required. |
