National Play Strategy (UK)

The UK’s National Play Strategy is a government plan aimed at ensuring that all children and young people have access to quality play opportunities. It recognizes play as a vital part of childhood that supports development, creativity, and well-being. The strategy sets out objectives to improve play environments, include children’s voices in decision-making, and promote safe, diverse, and inclusive play activities across communities. Ultimately, it seeks to create a supportive framework that encourages children to explore, imagine, and develop essential life skills through play.
