Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill: impact assessments

The impact assessments include:

• a bill-level impact assessment, which is a summary of the individual-measure impact assessments – this reflects the bill as amended in the House of Commons
• 6 impact assessments for ‘regulatory provisions’ measures in line with the Regulatory Policy Committee’s Better Regulation Framework guidance – this reflects the 4 ‘regulatory provisions’ in the bill as amended in the House of Commons (the remaining 2 were not amended)
• 2 impact assessments for 32 measures across children’s social care and schools that are not ‘regulatory provisions’, with analysis of their expected impacts – this reflects the bill as amended in the House of Commons and new government measures tabled at Lords report stage
• a bill-level equalities impact assessment, which analyses the impact of measures on protected characteristics, required by the public sector equality duty – this reflects the bill as amended in the House of Commons and new government measures tabled at Lords report stage
• a bill-level child’s rights impact assessment, which analyses the impact of measures against the UN Convention on Rights of a Child (UNCRC) – this reflects the bill as amended in the House of Commons and new government measures tabled at Lords report stage
