The future of secure care and the single point of contact (SPOC) for victims in the Children's Hearings System

We propose to carry out impact assessments alongside the development of any new policies or legislation which would be required to implement the changes proposed in this consultation. 

These include a Data Protection Impact Assessment, Child Rights and Wellbeing Impact Assessment, Equality Impact Assessment (related to the protected characteristics of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation). We would be interested in your views on these areas to help us in developing these and any other necessary assessments.
