Families award government a ‘D’ for its efforts to be family friendly

Family and Childcare Trust | Mark Bou Mansour | 19 October 2015

A new report by the Family and Childcare Trust shows that the UK is failing to help families thrive, with parents awarding the Government a grade D for being family friendly.

Additional research found that Bath and North East Somerset is the most family friendly place in England, while Sandwell is the least.

The Family and Childcare Trust’s annual Family Report Card is currently the only annual assessment of how family friendly the UK is. It analyses national and local data across four different categories: financial resources; work life balance; essential services for families and children; and infrastructure such as housing and childcare.
