The Child and Family’s Neighborhood
A child’s safety in the neighborhood and at school, the amount of support families feel they receive from their neighbors, and the availability of child care all affect a family’s comfort in their community and the child’s freedom within the neighborhood. A number of questions within the survey were used to develop indicators that reflect the family-friendliness of the child’s and family’s neighborhood.
