Family Members Welcome!

The term "family friendly" applies to how and to what extent organizations involve, welcome, and value the participation of family members in every aspect of the organization.

The Ohio Family Support Council developed two Family Friendly Check Lists: one for families and one for staff in organizations. The checklists can help organizations determine if they have adopted family friendly practices and may give their staff ideas for improving family friendly approaches in specific areas. Organizational administrators can compare staff perceptions to family member responses.
