Unorthodox cleric had way of coping with issue (9)

I believe the answer is:

childcare

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'way of coping with issue' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'unorthodox cleric had' is the wordplay.
'unorthodox' indicates an anagram.
'cleric'+'had'='clerichad'
'clerichad' with letters rearranged gives 'CHILDCARE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for childcare that I've seen before include "Responsibility for family" , "Youth work" , "concern for charges" , "protection of the young" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
