It's been a week since we launched our Raising the Nation Play Commission final report - packed full of ideas, good practice, and deliverable recommendations for bringing down the barriers stopping our children from playing. We've been so pleased with the support and interest…
Today our year-long Raising the Nation Play Commission into why play is critical to the wellbeing and development of children publishes its Final Report, #EverythingToPlayFor. It’s time to reclaim childhood with a National Play Strategy for England. centreforyounglives.org.uk/news-centre/ev…
In anticipation of the publication of our findings from the second phase of the Healthy Start, Happy Start study (coming soon!), here’s a reminder of what we did and what we learned from phase one: youtube.com/watch?v=Xy_5C3…
We really enjoyed this meeting @alistrathern. 😀 The message was consistent among the health professionals and academics who attended: play reduces trauma and enables efficiency savings for the NHS. 🙌 🧸🩺👶 @NHSEngland @RCPCHtweets @theRCN @Sophieslegacy10 @uclh @PEDALCam
No adult enjoys having a medical procedure, so why should we expect children to handle them without appropriate support? Great to host @starlight_uk and medical and childrens professionals in Parliament to discuss how we can strengthen therapeutic play provision across the NHS.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who attended the #PEDALConference2025 on the #InternationalDayofPlay to help us celebrate 10 years of PEDAL!
It was such an honour to welcome @StephenMorganMP to the #PEDALConference2025 on the International Day of Play!
It was a pleasure to speak a the @PEDALCam #PEDALConference2025 today on how this government is delivering on our Plan for Change. It was interesting to hear from experts on how we can continue to deliver evidence based policies with children and families at their heart.
...and the #PEDALConference2025 draws to a close! Thank you so much to our wonderful keynote and workshop speakers, the PEDAL and @CamEdFac team and of course to all of our wonderful attendees who've travelled from near and far! Cheers! 🥂
