How is 'tough' measured?
The Children's Commissioner's report uses a wide range of nearly 100 measures to determine how 'tough' a place is for children. These include indicators related to health outcomes, the quality and availability of housing, educational attainment and school resources, and local safety statistics. This holistic approach aims to capture the complex realities of childhood experiences.
