Stage 6: Publish the CRIA
16. Should the full assessment or a summary be published?
17. Will a child-friendly version be produced?
Questions in this section refer to whether the assessment will be published. Publishing the CRIA is
important for transparency and promoting its wider use. Article 13 of the CRC recognises the value
of providing children with information that they can understand and easily access. As such, a childfriendly version of the CRIA should also be published.
Stage 7: Monitor and review
18. Describe the resources allocated to monitoring the key findings and
recommendations of this assessment or explain why resources have not been
allocated.
Stage 7 refers to monitoring and reviewing the CRIA. This is an important stage for evaluating the
effectiveness of policy/legislation. Appropriate resources and time should be allocated to enable this
process.
