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

Do children experience this problem differently from adults?

The States Assembly are being asked to decide on an amendment to P.51/2024 which, if approved, will insert a paragraph into the Proposed Budget 2025-2028 to state that funding will be prioritised in 2025 to ensure adequate resourcing to progress the Termination of Pregnancy Law Amendments workstream.

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 will be affected by this amendment.

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?

It is not anticipated that this amendment will have an impact on 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

It is not considered that a full Children's Rights Impact Assessment is required. This is due to the nature of the amendment requesting resourcing for a specific policy workstream. Any future proposals resulting from this policy workstream will be required to be brought to the States Assembly for debate and will therefore be subject to a Children's Rights Impact Assessment.
