NCB Now: Play council gets Australian visitor

The Australian shadow minister for sport and recreation, senator Kate Lundy, visited NCB last month. Lundy came to share ideas with Adrian Voce, director of the Children's Play Council, about physical activity strategies and the role of play and informal recreation in child development.

The Australian Labour Party, hoping for a return to power at the generalelection next year, is planning to develop its sport and recreationpolicy to pay more attention to children and young people and integrateinformal play within a wider physical activity strategy.

"The senator believed there were things that the Australian governmentcould learn from Play England," commented Voce.
