The Raising the Nation Play Commission has been created by entrepreneur Paul Lindley, founder of baby food brand Ella’s Kitchen, with the support of the Centre for Young Lives (CfYL).
Throughout its 12-month programme, the commission will seek testimony from experts in children’s play and wellbeing, as well as from parents, children and young people. It has issued an online call for evidence including for parents and young people to come forward with their own experiences of restricted access to play in their communities.
The commission is being advised by law firm Hogan Lovells, which has agreed to help it identify whether an effective and enforceable right to play exists in law in England and Wales and help identify opportunities to provide protections for play.
