Notes 1

The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation 2011: Child Index is the official measure of relative deprivation for small areas in Wales for children. The indicators included in the Child Index are focussed on the child population and the types of deprivation which might be expected to affect them. The Child Index was developed as a tool to identify and understand deprivation in children in Wales, so that funding, policy, and programmes can be effectively focussed on children in the most disadvantaged communities. The Child Index 2011 updates the Child Index published in 2008, without imposing methodological changes, except where data provision makes this unavoidable.

The Child Index is produced as a set of ranks, with a rank of 1 assigned to the most deprived area. Ranks are a relative system of measurement; we can know which areas are more (or less) deprived than others, but not by how much. This is because of the way that the Index must be constructed.
