Synopsis

Play is fundamental to children's health, wellbeing and development. Yet, in the modern world, their space and opportunity to play is under threat.This is the first book to look in detail at children's play within public policy. Using an in-depth look at play policy developments in the United Kingdom as a case study, it explores states' obligations to children under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and its 2013 General Comment. It presents evidence that strategies for public health, education and even environmental sustainability, would be more effective with a better informed perspective about the importance of allowing children more time and space to play.The book throws down a challenge to both play advocates and governments respectively - to make effective policy that respects, protects and fulfills children's right to play. It is an essential tool for practitioners and campaigners around the world.
