As we head into the school Summer holidays, @PlayEngland has published an open letter to government regarding on the importance of play and some first steps for change. Play England are calling for meaningful change as part of the government’s legislative programme set out in the King's Speech, through the introduction of play sufficiency legislation and a new national play strategy. Delivering these first steps will depend on bringing together governmental departments (MHCLG, DfE, DCMS, DHSC, and DfT) with national agencies, stakeholders, and children (as we did in 2008) to ensure that the importance of play is recognised, valued, and protected across government and wider society. #PlaySufficiency #NationalPlayStrategy
