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 amendment seeks to amend P.26/2026. The CRIA completed for P.26/2026 remains relevant and all responses and assessments are identical. |
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 proposed regulatory provisions will affect all islanders (children, young people and adults) both when consuming public water outside the home (e.g. in schools, care settings, food businesses, places of employment) and within the home. |
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 proposed regulatory provisions will have indirect but positive impacts on children's rights under the UNCRC, particularly Articles 6 (Health and Development), 24 (Health), 27 (Standard of Living). |
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, a full Child Rights impact assessment is not required for this schedule change. Although the proposed regulatory provisions do not place any direct obligations on children and young people, it has a clear indirect and positive impact on the rights of the child |
