New data on the Survey on Early Learning and Child Care Arrangements — Children with Long-term Conditions and Disabilities

The data was collected from the 2023 Survey on Early Learning and Child Care Arrangements - Children with Long-term Conditions and Disabilities from April 4 to June 30, 2023.

In the survey, multiple screening questions were used to establish if the target child experienced difficulties in daily living or had any long-term conditions or disabilities. Only difficulties or long-term conditions that have lasted or are expected to last for six months or more were considered. This consisted of six questions on difficulties in activities of daily living, one question on the presence of a long-term condition, two questions about limitations due to a health problem, and a question on the presence of different disability types. Respondents must have indicated the child had difficulty in daily living in at least one area, a long-term condition, or a disability, or some form of limitation to be considered within the scope of the survey.
