Data collection of children’s rights
Recommended measures (3)
Recalling its general comment No. 5 (2003) on general measures of implementation of the Convention and the previous recommendations of the Committee and other treaty bodies, the Committee recommends that the State Party:
(a) Expeditiously improve its data-collection system and ensure that disaggregated data collected on children’s rights cover all areas of the Convention and the Optional Protocols thereto, particularly with regard to ethnicity or Indigenous origin, and systematize data on the fulfilment of children’s rights
(b) Take measures to ensure sufficient analysis of the situation of children exposed to intersecting forms of discrimination, including with regard to the rights of Sami children in the care of child welfare services
(c) Design and introduce data-protection safeguards to prevent the abuse of official statistics
