We have a guest blog up on the website by Kevin Kane at Play Scotland, and @Youthlinkscot. Kevin writes about #spontaneousplay , and the opportunities that will arise in line with the incorporation of Article 31 into Scots Law buff.ly/49uu9y0

Exactly! 👇 Allowing children to #playfreely has so many benefits to their health and wellbeing. We don't always need to have a desired outcome in mind, letting children roam and play as they wish is of huge benefit to them already 🎈🪁

A terrific new academic paper from one of the authors of #PlayIsTheWay , summarising the biological imperatives for outdoor, active, social play during childhood and the parlous state of play for 21st century children. A really fascinating read.
