Childcare Costs Survey 2013 Canada |
Dear Participants,
We would like to ask for your assistance in taking the following survey which looks at the extent to which parents of multiples are able to access childcare suitable to their needs. The survey was created and organized by the Twins and Multiple Births Association (Tamba in the UK) and then later adapted to meet Canada’s needs for Multiple Births Canada. We cannot thank their CEO Keith Reed, other staff and volunteers enough for making it possible for us to learn important information about the needs of our multiple-birth families here in Canada.
While the survey was set to assist Tamba by using the findings to press the UK Government to make changes to better meet the needs of their multiple-birth families, we believe that knowing the results for Canada will not only provide necessary comparisons for Tamba’s work, but it will also provide MBC information that may help us in the future for similar circumstances, and in possible literature written in support of our families.
Please note: other national organizations have contributed questions within this survey in order to collect information that will be useful for purposes within their own organizations, while some questions have been changed to better reflect childcare situations in Canada some questions may still appear to have choices for responses that you are not aware of. Please do your best to answer the questions in a way that best reflects your personal situation.
Thank you for your help and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Please feel free to share this with other multiple-birth parents through your own network, social media and through groups that you may belong to. The more feedback we have from across all areas of Canada the better.
Best regards,
Kimberley Weatherall
Executive Director, Multiple Births Canada
