The new charter for children's play

Through play, children develop their abilities, explore their creativity and learn about themselves, other people and the world around them.

This book is a clear statement of children's play needs and how they should be met.

For all those involved in children's play, the Charter provides a vision for children's play, a checklist for reviewing services, a framework for developing strategies, support for early years work and playwork training and a campaign tool for better services.
