Children and young people of all ages have a want, need and right to play. It is enshrined within the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

This one-hour training session involves thinking about:

• what play is and why it is important for children’s learning and development;

• its link to the UNCRC;

• the impact of Covid and the barriers to play for children and young people.

It focuses on three interdependent aspects of good play provision (time, space and permission) in order to reflect on and plan opportunities to best support all children’s access to their right to play  (e.g. developing play policies, playground provision, and alternatives to play withdrawal).

The session is delivered by members of the Educational Psychology Service
