What is the problem or issue the decision is trying to address?

Do children experience this problem differently from adults?

The Panel's Amendment [P.70/2025] to the Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2026-2029 seeks to create a new head of expenditure for the Jersey Public Services Ombudsperson.

The Amendment also seeks to ring-fence funds in the Budget for the purpose of establishing an Ombudsperson.

Finally, the Amendment aims to ensure that previous decisions taken by the States Assembly, to establish an Ombudsperson and to bring forward detailed proposals for the establishment of an ombudsperson in 2025, are reflected in this Budget.

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

It is not anticipated that any groups of children and young people are likely to be affected.

3)  What is the likely impact of the proposed decision on children and on their rights?

Will different groups of children be affected differently by this decision?

It is not anticipated that the proposed decision will impact children and their rights.

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

No. As the Amendment will not impact children's rights a full CRIA is not required.
