Setting up a feedback system - Childrens Rights Reform

Setting up a feedback system

  • Appropriate feedback mechanisms (in addition to consultations) throughout the process will help to keep the legislative reform process relevant and responsive to the actual legal situation of children, as well as public expectations.
  • Opportunities for feedback should be provided to all stakeholders that may be affected by the legislative reform, including children.
  • As the review process unfolds, public expectations will likely change in response to the availability of more and better information about the situation of children's rights.
  • The process must remain flexible from the beginning, allowing for adjustments to either the questions being asked, or the methods employed as the process evolves.
  • It is important to provide feedback to participants in consultations and stakeholders who were otherwise involved in the legislative process on how and to what extent their input has been taken into account.
