***NEWSFLASH*** Tune into BBC Radio 4 at 3.30pm to hear some inevitably wonderful stuff about the UK's wonderful #adventureplaygrounds. As the future for too many hangs in the balance, we need to sound the alarm about how vital they are for children & the communities they serve.

Including a Play Sufficiency duty on Local Authorities, to children, in this bill would underpin the long term impact a National Play Strategy for England would have - its an upcoming call of our Raising the Nation Play Commission. 👏👏 Anne Longfield
