3 | The Child Rights Impact Assessment tool Key considerations when using the tool: Confirmation bias: Care should be taken to avoid bias when assessing positive and negative impacts by exploring all available research and evidence before making judgements. Knowledge: Policy/decision-makers undertaking a CRIA require a general understanding of human rights and the CRC. A simplified version of the CRC is provided in Appendix 4. Capacity: Sufficient resources and time must be allocated to collecting appropriate information and completing a rights-based analysis, including by having access to expert advice; tools to guide and shape the process; access to relevant data sets; and a clear expectation of involving children. Identifiable information: No identifiable information should be included in a CRIA.
