CYP Now - NCB Now: Charter launched for children's play

Play England has launched new resources to help raise awareness of the importance of play for children. The resources will help engage key stakeholders - from children through to decision-makers - in discussions about the importance of play in children's lives and what they can do to ensure that children across the country can enjoy it.

The Charter for Children's Play sets out a vision for play, outlining the basic principles of what play means for children, and what we should all do to promote their right to enjoy it. The charter is designed to act as a catalyst for individuals and organisations to examine and improve their provision for children and young people's play and informal recreation, and for organisations whose services directly impact on children to formally adopt the charter to raise awareness of the importance of play.

A range of support materials is available to help promote the charter, including a children and young people's pocket-sized version, so children can carry it around easily and refer to it when needed, and a colourful A2 poster that highlights each of the eight charter statements in a child-friendly and engaging way.
