We are proud to be one of the 160 organisations to have signed a joint briefing led by the Children's Rights Alliance for England (part of Just for Kids Law), UNICEF UK, and the NSPCC.

The amendment, tabled today by Baroness Lister of Burtersett, would place Child Rights Impact Assessments (CRIAs) on a statutory footing for legislation and policy decisions affecting children’s wellbeing, social care or education.

As the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill progresses through Report Stage in the House of Lords, we’re proud to support Amendment 221, tabled by Baroness Lister, which would place Child Rights Impact Assessments (CRIAs) on a statutory footing.

Organisations from across the children’s and human rights sectors have now signed up, demonstrating an unprecedented and powerful cross-sector call to make children’s rights a routine part of UK Government policymaking.

This is a proportionate, achievable reform, and would bring England in

line with Wales, Scotland and Jersey.
