The Department for Education is committed to giving due consideration to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child during the policy-making process. It undertakes child rights impact assessments for key policy and legislative changes; the most recent one was in respect of the Children and Families Act 2014. The Department also ensures that children’s rights issues are considered as part of the Home Affairs Committee clearance process.
