The Rights of Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure 2011 requires the Welsh Ministers to have ‘due regard’ to the UNCRC when exercising any of their functions and to make out a scheme for securing compliance with the UNCRC (ss 1 & 2 RCYP2011).
Those provisions thus have much greater potential significance in Wales than they do in England (where there no similar ‘due regard’ obligations in relation to these international law obligations.) It remains to be seen how that impacts in practice.
