The Raising the Nation Play Commission, a year-long independent inquiry into why play is critical to the wellbeing of children published its final report, “Everything to Play For: A Plan to Ensure Every Child in England Can Play” on Wednesday 11th June 2025.
The Raising the Nation Play Commission launched in June 2024. Our final report was published on the International Day of Play – 11th June 2025.
Our final report puts forward a positive vision of a country where children’s play is at the heart of government strategy and our public spaces, and where it is embedded across education, health, local government and beyond. It argues for the restoration of play into early learning and our schools, for communities where safe parks, playgrounds, streets, and housing developments are alive with the shouts and laughter of children, and for a broader, cultural shift in attitudes towards risk, childhood independence, and play.
