Play Strategy
The Stevenage Play Policy and Strategy detail Stevenage’s commitment to developing the quality and quantity of play opportunities offered to children.
We recognise that children need a range of opportunities to grow and fulfil their potential and that play is an essential ingredient in that development.
Both the Play Strategy and Policy have been developed in consultation with children, parents and carers and service providers in the voluntary and statutory sectors.
Stevenage Play Strategy
The strategy provides a framework for implementing Stevenage's vision and policy.
There are seven objectives for the Play Strategy:
- develop an infrastructure for play
- implement the Play Policy commitments and the Play Strategy
- raise the profile of play in Stevenage
- ensure that play opportunities are accessible to all children
- develop the quality of play opportunities
- increase the quality of outdoor play opportunities for children
- develop dialogue and engagement
