Raising the Nation Play Commission Interim Report
The Raising the Nation Play Commission Interim Report, published by The Centre for Young Lives, marks a significant step in a national effort to promote play for children and families across England. Neighbourly Lab is proud to serve as one of 20 expert Commissioners on this initiative.
Launched in June 2024, the Commission brings together experts, alongside Paul and Anne, to spark a nationwide conversation on how to encourage and support more play. Through seven key themes, the Commission is exploring both the benefits of play and the barriers preventing it.
This investigation is informed by a call for written evidence, oral sessions with expert witnesses, site visits, and direct consultations with children, young people, and families
