419 Followers 3K FollowingA rural #NoBallGames (to be played). I mean, who would imagine that you might be able to play on a big green space in the middle of a village?
I’ve spent this week in the Netherlands thinking about children’s outdoor play - things here seem _so_ much more positive than at home in UK, but today @JantjeBeton_nl are sounding an alarm for the decline in outdoor play here too, as the %age who play out daily shrinks further.
🚨Alarmerend: meer dan 400.000 kinderen spelen niet of nauwelijks buiten! #jantjebeton #buitenspeelalarm #buitenspelen #elkedagbuitenspelen jantjebeton.nl/nieuws/jantje-…
In the full report, one of the 33 ambitions is "Every child has access to play and fun things to do, and spaces to spend time with their friends", for which there are two solutions. These come under "The Big Ambition for Youthwork" - could that not have been Play and Youth Work?
It's really good to see this from @ChildrensComm and to see both fun and access to safe outdoor space identified as key themes for change for children, but I can't help be disappointed that the word "play" doesn't explicitly appear.
"It's time to listen to the children". Well said @Rachel_deSouza @ChildrensComm One thing children ask for over and over is safe space and permission to play outside near home with friends "in real life". It's time for Govt to listen and act. @CommonsLUHC
'They don't listen to us because we don't have the vote' Rachel de Souza, children's commissioner for England, told #BBCBreakfast under 18s have told her it's time for 'political parties to listen to the children' bbc.co.uk/news/topics/cn…
