The E-Learning course called Children’s Rights is available to Home Office staff. The course guides the learner through the steps of completing a child’s rights impact assessment template and helps the learner to consider the UNCRC as part of the development of policy or legislation. The latest data shows that 12 Home Office staff have taken this course up to February 2019. Data is not available for Ministers. We have no information on any other training being carried out by Home Office staff on child rights impact assessments.
