This study explores the perceptions of how children’s opportunities to play have changed since the commencement of the Play Sufficiency Duty. The research, carried out between January and March 2019, found that much had been achieved, despite this being a challenging time for local government and public services. Achievements included:

• working in partnership
• raising awareness of children’s right to play
• reconfiguring services and spaces to create opportunities for playing.
