@EugeneMinogue @UniofReading @naomiruthnr @PlayEngland @CfYoungLives @Earlychildhood @Paul_Lindley @UNCRCArticle31 @UNCRC @DCMS Great post - Where do playworkers fit into the STAR framework ? Playworkers as facilitators of inclusive children’s play in a range of spaces, Play Development workers who organise and fundraiser for better play spaces and play opportunities and play advocates ?

Great work London Play

[London Play @londonplay]

The sight of children transforming Parliament Square with colour, joy and play at the London #ParadeforPlay today was SO inspiring! #MakeLawsforPlay #InternationalDayOfPlay

[sussedandable @sussedandableuk]

@Paul_Lindley @annelongfield @CfYoungLives Fantastic work - please keep the pressure on to turn the recommendations into actions.

[sussedandable @sussedandableuk]

Disappointing that Playwork and Adventure Playgrounds didn’t get much of a mention.

[Centre for Young Lives @CfYoungLives]

Today we’re publishing our Raising The Nation Play Commission interim report.

Thanks to the many people who have contributed evidence and given advice.

We set out the huge benefits of play, the barriers, and make policy recommendations.

[Centre for Young Lives @CfYoungLives]

Access to play has reduced greatly over recent years and there are very real concerns over the dominance of social media in children's lives. Including a Play Strategy in this Bill would be a cost-effective way to reflect the wants and needs of children in the community. 3/3

@EugeneMinogue @TomHayesBmouth @UKParliament @PlayEngland @AlexJJNorris @DCMS @Sport_England @LGAculturesport @localgoveditors @lgcplus @cypnow @CfYoungLives Great work Eugene. Let’s all build on this landmark debate by writing to our MPs are calling for a Play Strategy and Play Sufficiency legislation. I read Hansard and didn’t see any direct reference to Playworkers however adventure playgrounds were mentioned

[Tim Gill @timrgill]

@LabourParty Lots more to comment on (including the role of poverty and disadvantage, and health and physical activity). But I will finish by noting that 1 of the 6 recs is "let children play." 6/n Good work @childrensociety

[Tim Gill @timrgill]

The latest @childrenssociety #goodchildhood report makes depressing reading. It is worth a close look, as it is a detailed, robust and revealing dataset on UK children, with international comparisons & trend data going back to 2010. 1/n https://t.co/D1G1ZE0fQm

Very sad news. Tapping into alternative education funding is a great idea as is working together as a consortium. Really hope you are successful with your endeavours to save Leicesters adventure playgrounds. Could DCMS fund a pilot consortium project ? https://t.co/WVj8HhR9fx

Access to play allows children and their families to have a better experience of healthcare. It can reduce stress, turn a scary environment into an adventure, and help increase a child's autonomy over their treatment. ⭐

[National Playday @NationalPlayday]

Not long to go! It's just 1️⃣ week to #Playday2024!

This Playday, we are calling on everyone – families, playworkers & all those who work with children across the UK, to join together to foster a culture of supporting play.

Play is every child’s right – on Playday & every day.

[London Play @londonplay]

"...allowing kids to play out in the open has helped residents reclaim something they didn’t know they were missing: the ability to connect with the people living closest to them." Great article featuring our friends @playingout

[sussedandable @sussedandableuk]

What would be best - Play Sufficiency legislation - (a policy ask which doesn’t need funding ???) - Play England or a new National Play Strategy - Children’s Alliance ?

[sussedandable @sussedandableuk]

Great to get the campaign for Play Sifficiency legislation on Breakfast news - well done Play England.
