NCB Now: Event on play and social development

A conference to be held this month will explore ways of helping children and young people make the best use of their time outside of school.

The event, organised by the National Youth Agency, Groundwork, CABE and the Children's Play Council, will focus on the learning and personal development that takes place outside formal education.

Entitled The 51-Minute Challenge - based on the notion that children spend 51 minutes of the waking hour away from school - the conference will examine innovative methods of providing children with opportunities to play, socialise and develop.

The 51-Minute Challenge takes place at Church House, Westminster, on 31 March. Speakers include CPC director Tim Gill, Frank Dobson MP and youth activist Kierra Box.

- To book, call 0116 285 3708.
