Resource content

A case study describing how Highland Council applied a Children’s Rights and Wellbeing Impact Assessment when proposing changes to its waste and recycling collection system. It covers how the process identified potential negative impacts on families with young children, children with disabilities, and larger families, and how mitigations were built into the resulting Household Waste and Recycling Policy.
