‘Play campaigners urge Prime Minister to revive national strategy’ - @CYPNow cypnow.co.uk/content/news/pl… Nearly half of children want to spend more of their free time playing active games, research has found, leading campaigners to call for a revived national play strategy. The call from @PlayEngland and the @PlayTheirWay movement comes on @NationalPlayday, the annual national celebration of children’s right to play, backed by research finding that screens and a lack of safe outdoor spaces are limiting many children's opportunities to play as they wish. They urge Prime Minister @AndyBurnham to respond by reviving England’s play strategy, which he originally launched in 2008. playengland.org.uk/newsblog/… Research carried out by @IpsosUK found 49% of children aged eight to 16 would like to spend more time playing active games for fun. Some 40% of parents polled said their children had stopped taking part in a sport because it was “not fun enough”. playengland.org.uk/newsblog/… #ItAllStartsWithPlay! #NationalPlayStrategy #PlaySufficiency
