Children and Families Act 2014

Section 2B: Involving children in the discharge of the primary function

441.Section 2B (inserted into the 2004 Act by section 107) requires the Commissioner to take reasonable steps to involve children in his or her work, and to provide children with information about the Commissioner’s role and how they can raise issues with him or her. Provision is made for children to be consulted on the activities that the Commissioner intends to undertake in the discharge of the primary function. Section 2B(3) requires the Commissioner (when involving children in the discharge of the primary function) to have particular regard to children within new section 8A, and children who do not have other adequate means to make their views known. It will be for the Commissioner to determine which children fall into the latter category.

442.It is for the Commissioner to decide how best to make children aware of his or her role and activities, and to put in place arrangements that allow children to contact the Commissioner and comment on his or her proposed work programme. The Commissioner may also wish to use other organisations which have an interest in children’s rights as a conduit for seeking the views of children, to avoid duplication and to make best use of available resources.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
