Play Strategies - the importance of links with Children and Young People's Plans
2 November 2006
The job of a Play Strategy development group is made easier when background work to express the importance of play has already been carried out and embedded into existing policy frameworks. Here London Play focuses on the Islington and the Kensington and Chelsea Children and Young People's Plans as examples of good practice. (There are sure to be other examples of good practice. Please let us know about them).
