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 decision seeks to increase the hourly rate of payment for childcare for the extended nursery provision for 2-3- year olds. |
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 |
All groups of children would be affected in the same way. |
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 |
Negligible impact as the amendment seeks to increase funding paid to providers. The result may be that there are sufficient places available for children aged 2-3, but the impact would be more widely felt by families than specifically for 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 |
As this is an amendment a full CRIA is not required. In addition, the impact of the amendment will be to ensure places are available and no specific impact on children's rights. This amendment would allow delivery of the Government Policy re provision of free childcare for 2-3 year olds – a policy which has the Deputy 's full support. |
