项目摘要

High-quality early childhood education and care (ECEC) and afterschool-care (ASC) services are crucial for children's equal opportunities, particularly for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. They are also crucial for supporting parents' ability to work and families' financial security. The closure of schools and childcare facilities and other social distancing measures in the wake of Covid-19, while important policies to reduce the spread of the virus and its burden on healthcare systems, created a national 'childcare crisis' with potentially severe effects on families' livelihoods and wellbeing, particularly for families in vulnerable circumstances. Since Covid-19 and its impacts are likely to be persistent, there is an urgent need for crisis-resilient solutions of high-quality childcare provision reaching all families beyond key workers.We know that community-based co-production can lead to more sustainable and effective local solutions than top-down policy-implementation, particularly for hard-to-reach groups. This project has two objectives: firstly, it will collate an evidence-base providing the most comprehensive picture on how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected families' childcarearrangements and wellbeing in the short and longer term. This will include collection of rich new data (in-depth interviews with parents and stakeholders) identifying the specific childcare needs and challenges of families in different circumstances (including socio-economic background, protected characteristics and geographical area), and its triangulation with secondary analysis of a wide range of data-sources on Covid-19 impact (including nationally representative surveys and convenience samples). Secondly, in partnership with local and national stakeholders and policymakers, the project will develop a co-produced policy-toolkit providing community-based implementation and practice pathways to support Local Councils' crisis responses and local communities in developing effective and sustainable childcare solutions during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond. This childcare-toolkit will draw lessons from two local co-production labs (in a rural and an urban setting), from mapping exercises of diverse childcare contexts, and the collation of evidence on specific access problems and needs of different groups of families, particularly those in vulnerable circumstances.The innovative project-design combining a comprehensive array of data analysis with a collaborative co-production strategy for local service solutions will be pioneering in designing resilient childcare provision that protects family wellbeing during this pandemic and beyond.Our extensive analysis of a wide range of data will allow us to identify gaps in the existing data on experiences of families with young children during the Covid-19 pandemic and to make recommendations to policy-makers and data-collectors on what further data is required and what questions should be included in future data-collection.Our close collaboration with a wide range of project-partners in policy-making and civil society (e.g. Scottish Government, The Improvement Service and advocacy organisations such as Child Poverty Action Group, Close the Gap, One Parent Families Scotland, and Children in Scotland) helps ensure that our policy-toolkit is useful and applicable for a wide range of ongoing national and regional Covid-19 activities (e.g. 'CHANGE: Childcare and Nurture'; 'Access to Childcare Fund'-projects; 'Caring Community'- and 'Resilient Community'-projects; 'Critical childcare for vulnerable children'-programmes), and secondly, that it is widely disseminated by our partners across the country and different sectors

高质量的幼儿教育和照料以及课后照料服务对于儿童的平等机会至关重要，特别是对于来自弱势背景的儿童。它们对于支持父母的工作能力和家庭的经济安全也至关重要。2019冠状病毒病爆发后，学校和托儿设施关闭，以及其他社交距离措施，虽然是减少病毒传播及其对医疗系统负担的重要政策，但却造成了全国性的“托儿危机”，可能对家庭的生计和福祉造成严重影响，特别是对弱势家庭。由于新型冠状病毒及其影响可能会持续下去，因此迫切需要能够抵御危机的解决方案，为关键工人以外的所有家庭提供高质量的托儿服务。我们知道，与自上而下的政策实施相比，基于社区的共同生产可以带来更可持续和更有效的本地解决方案，特别是对难以接触到的群体。该项目有两个目标：首先，它将整理一个证据库，提供关于2019冠状病毒病大流行如何在短期和长期影响家庭的托儿安排和福祉的最全面的情况。这将包括收集丰富的新数据（与家长和持份者进行深入访谈），以确定不同情况下（包括社会经济背景、受保护特征和地理区域）家庭的具体育儿需求和挑战，并将其与对Covid-19影响的广泛数据来源（包括全国代表性调查和便利样本）的二次分析进行三角测量。其次，该项目将与地方和国家利益攸关方和政策制定者合作，共同开发一个政策工具包，提供基于社区的实施和实践途径，以支持地方议会的危机应对和地方社区在新冠肺炎疫情期间及以后制定有效和可持续的儿童保育解决方案。这个儿童保育工具包将从两个当地的合作生产实验室中吸取经验教训（在农村和城市环境中），通过对不同儿童保育环境的摸底调查，以及对不同家庭群体的具体获得问题和需要的证据进行整理，特别是那些处于脆弱环境中的人。创新的项目设计结合了全面的数据分析和合作，本地服务解决方案的生产战略将在设计有弹性的托儿服务方面具有开创性，以保护家庭在疫情期间及以后的福祉。我们对广泛数据的广泛分析将使我们能够确定现有数据中关于新冠肺炎期间有幼儿家庭经历的差距-19大流行病，并向决策者和数据收集者提出建议，说明需要哪些进一步的数据，以及在未来的数据收集中应包括哪些问题。我们与决策和民间社会的广泛项目合作伙伴密切合作（例如，苏格兰政府、改善服务局和儿童贫困行动小组、缩小差距、苏格兰单亲家庭和苏格兰儿童）有助于确保我们的政策工具包对广泛的正在进行的国家和地区Covid-19活动有用和适用（例如：“变革：儿童保育和养育”;“获得儿童保育基金”项目;“关爱社区”和“复原力社区”项目;第二，我们的合作伙伴在全国各地和不同部门广泛宣传这一计划
