Play Wales resources

Our range of publications raises awareness about the importance of play for children and teenagers. These resources also offer good practice guidelines on a variety of topics about providing opportunities to play. They are aimed at everyone who has an interest in, or responsibility for,  children’s play.

 

In this section you can find our resources. They include toolkits, guidance, information sheets, top tips, and more. 

 

We haven’t added every resource yet – if you’re looking for a Play Wales publication and can’t find it here, please get in touch.
