Sufficient play opportunities research

29 July 2010

The Welsh Assembly Government is currently considering what are sufficient play opportunities for children and young people in Wales.  

As part of this work, it has commissioned Funky Dragon (Children and Young Peoples Assembly for Wales) and Dynamix, an organisation that works extensively with children, to ask children what they think about play and to observe how they play.

Funky Dragon approached their investigation by carrying out a survey to find out how children aged 5 14 years of age liked to play, where and with whom, and what barriers would stop them from playing. 

Dynamix conducted research with 3 5  year olds, mainly through observing a range of children in play and noting their behaviours, relationships and attitudes.
