How can digital products and services providers assess their impact on children’s and
young people’s rights? The Digital Futures Commission is exploring the feasibility and
benefits of Child Rights Impact Assessment (CRIA) as one means of embedding
children’s best interests in a digital world. CRIA was initially introduced as a tool for
States to assess the impact of their policies and programmes on children’s rights.
Subsequently extended to businesses, CRIA applies established methods of impact
assessment to the goal of realising children’s rights as set out in the United Nations
Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
