HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) conducted a high level people impact assessment using known workforce management data to inform the regional centre location decisions. People and equality impacts are managed at both programme and regional level to mitigate potential impacts on different groups, including disabled staff. The regional people and equality impact assessment is undertaken early in the project and is updated on a regular basis throughout the project.<\/p>
<\/p>
All staff are offered a one-to-one discussion, normally about a year before any office move which affects them, to establish whether they can move. Under the reasonable adjustment policy, HMRC will work with individuals with particular needs to identify any adjustments required to enable this. Accessibility to regional centres has been factored into overall requirements for those centres from the outset.<\/p>
<\/p>
As previously announced, the Glasgow Regional Centre is expected to have between 2,700 and 3,000 full time equivalent posts when it opens. East Kilbride will be retained as a transitional site beyond the opening date of the Glasgow Regional Centre until 2025-26. The number of current full time equivalent staff employed at the offices which will feed into the Glasgow Regional Centre is shown in the table below.<\/p>

The \u2018Rights of the Child\u2019 continues to underpin associated Government policy and legislation across Whitehall, the Devolved Administrations and those Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories that have ratified the Convention. The UK has reaffirmed its commitment to give the Articles set out in the UNCRC due consideration.<\/p> During the passage of the Children and Social Work Act, the previous Children\u2019s Minister re-iterated that our commitment to the UNCRC is already reflected in legislation. For example, the Children Act 1989 and 2004 set out a range of duties to safeguard and promote the welfare of children, while in 2013 we issued statutory guidance to Directors of Children\u2019s Services requiring them to have regard to the general principles of the UNCRC to ensure that children and young people are involved in the development and delivery of local services.<\/p> The Children and Social Work Act is a further example of how we constantly seek not only to protect children\u2019s rights, but enhance them.<\/p> In October 2016, we responded to the United Nations\u2019 concluding recommendations through a Written Ministerial Statement (HLWS197) and a letter from the permanent secretary to his counterparts across government. We are determined to see this through with a framework of actions designed to raise the profile of children\u2019s rights, and embed them across Whitehall and beyond.<\/p>"}
