Recommended Means of Verification
This indicator is measured through interviews/surveys using the Safe Families Caregiver Questionnaire, Part 1: questions 1 and 2.
Individuals should be asked the following questions:
- Do you believe that to bring up, raise, or educate a child properly, the child needs to be physically punished: hitting, slapping, beating, or smacking?
- Do you believe that doing any one of the following is necessary to bring up, raise, or educate a child properly: belittling, threatening, scaring, or ridiculing a child?
If the adult responds "yes" to either question 1 or 2 (or to both), they would be counted towards this indicator. Please note that this indicator can count both caregivers of children currently under 18 and other adults in the community (e.,g. community leaders, adults whose children are over 18, etc).
To calculate the indicator's value, divide the number of male and female adults who hold these beliefs by the total number of male and female adults surveyed. Multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
