4. Tools for Implementation & Delivery

This section of the document outlines the tools needed to inform and assess how development proposals ensure that children and young people’s rights and specific needs are met in Hackney’s built environment. 

As the Principles and Design Guidelines have been developed, we have also considered the tools needed to deliver and effectively measure whether the guidance is delivering a child-friendly borough in Hackney. 

The tools set out in this chapter help embed the Principles and Design Guidelines in the proposed scheme. We believe if these guidelines are used this will deliver high-quality, liveable, and accessible schemes for all residents in Hackney. 

The Tools for Implementation and Delivery are:

1. Child-Friendly Design Standard

a. Child-Friendly Impact Assessment

b. Design Awards / Review Panels

2. Statement of Community Involvement

3. Area-Based & Infrastructure Delivery Plans
