Proposed Budget (Government Plan) 2025-2028 (P.51/2024): Eighteenth Amendment (P.51/2024 Amd.(18) – second amendment. (P.51/2024 Amd.(18).Amd.(2)) – Children’s Rights Impact Assessment

1)  Name and brief description of the proposed decision

The subject of your CRIA may be a proposed law, policy or proposition and in accordance with the Law is referred to in this template as the decision'

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

• Do children experience this problem differently from adults?

As identified in the CRIA supporting the original amendment, the completion and publication of a formal Play Strategy will allow children more space and opportunities to play than they currently have, and so they do experience this issue differently than adults.

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

As stated in the CRIA supporting the original amendment, all children and young people.

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

• Identify any potential positive OR negative impacts and include indirect impacts on children and their rights as described in the UNCRC

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

The development of a Play Strategy will improve the space and opportunities available for play whilst also improving access to established facilities and activities.

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 CRIA has not been completed by the original proposer and this Amendment to the Amendment would have the same impact and so a full CRIA would be superfluous.
