CHILD FRIENDLY SPACES
A 2019 OVERVIEW
WHAT ARE CHILD FRIENDLY SPACES?
Child Friendly Space (CFS) is a factory-based facility that
provides a safe environment for the children of workers to play,
access learning opportunities, develop social skills through
interactions with other kids and participate in joint activities
with their parents.
CFS responds to an urgent need to provide childcare when
children are out of school. Each summer, the number of
children on production floors or left unsupervised in dorms
spike dramatically when school is not in session.
CFS thus serves an important function of keeping children
away from production areas or unsupervised dorms, and
allow parents to put their minds at ease during shifts.
CFS operates during the summer but can also run on a year-
round basis and/or as an after-school centre.
We are looking into extending the Child Friendly
Spaces further into our Chinese supplier base for
next year(s).” Joy Roeterdink, Corporate Social
Responsibility Manager, Suitsupply
