Abstract | THIS CASE STUDY CONSIDERS the multi-level governance environment of child development policy in two suburbs in Victoria, Australia. The mixed methodology draws on material from the governance domain of the Kids in Communities Study (KiCS). KiCS investigates the relationship between neighbourhood factors and Early Childhood Development (ECD) in communities of advantage and disadvantage across Australia. KiCS has enabled researchers to consider the ECD governance environment in multiple sites, reflect on the potential to develop community-level indicators for child outcomes, and leverage policy opportunities to improve child development. |
