This study focuses on the conditions that help local authorities in taking actions in support of children’s opportunities to play. It makes 13 recommendations for actions that can help local authorities meet their Play Sufficiency Duty responsibilities.

It also includes 26 examples of actions local authorities have taken to support children’s play. Each example aims to show the unique contexts, processes and people involved, and offer adaptable ideas for those working to support children’s play.
