Promoting Children and Young People's Right to Play in Scotland

 

Play Scotland works to promote the importance of play for all children and young people, and campaigns to create increased play opportunities in the community.

The work of Play Scotland is underpinned by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child Article 31: "State parties recognise the right of every child to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts"
