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? |
I am lodging this proposition to review whether the increase of the minimum wage rate has implications for the recruitment and retention of trainees. Children and young people will not experience this problem differently from 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 |
There will be a small number of young people who are currently employed as trainees who will be affected by this decision. |
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? |
There could be a potential reduction in per hour earnings for trainees which will much depend on whether the Jersey Employment Forum make a recommendation to reintroduce the trainee minimum wage rate. However, these young people will experience this impact in the same way that adults do. |
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. |
