Webinar on the Child Rights Impact Assessment Tool

Join the CCRC & UNICEF Canada on October 10th at 12pm-1:30pm ET to discuss Justice Canada’s Child Rights Impact Assessment Tool. We are thrilled to be joined by Jolane Lauzon and Cassandre Laveaux from Justice Canada. Child Rights Impact Assessment (CRIA) is a tool that helps people understand how a proposed law, policy or decision might affect children’s human rights

This webinar will focus on why CRIAs are an important tool in implementing children’s rights, what civil society hopes to see with this tool, and also will give an overview on the course. The webinar will last 90 minutes, and will include a question and answer period. It will be recorded and available for viewing on our website afterwards.

This course is open for anyone to take.
