Description:

This dataset shows the reasons why parents of children aged 6–11 were unable to access all the formal out-of-school-hours care services they needed.

The figures indicate what percentage (%) of the target population selected each reason. The target population are all respondents who needed formal out-of-school-hours care services for children aged 6–11 and were unable to receive all the services they needed.

The dataset is based on the answers of carers to the question ‘Why were you unable to access the formal out-of-school-hours care services (e.g. supervised learning, recreation and leisure actitivities) for your children aged 6–11 years that you needed?’

Respondents could select up to three reasons from the following list:

  • Can’t afford it
  • No such care services are available
  • Waiting list is too long
  • Administrative burden to access services is too heavy
  • The person needing service is not eligible
  • The quality of the services available is not satisfactory
  • Services are too far away
  • No suitable opening hours
  • Other reasons (e.g. language barriers, lack of information)
  • Prefer not to answer
