Giving children time and space to play is so important. 🏓 We've become the first country in the world to legislate for children and young people's play. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 We're also the first country to enshrine the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into law. Play Wales #DayOfPlay 👇

Thank you to the schools in Bridgend that today, hosted our Population Level Health Strategic Theme Lead Kelly Morgan and our Research Assistant Dr Amie Richards - there were some great discussions had! #WIPAHSCymru

Clevenger et al found that providing children with >30 minutes of daily recess, which exceeds current recommendations of ≥20 minutes, is associated with more favorable physical activity (PA) levels and not just on school days. Read: journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…

This is worrying. Further research Swansea University Science and Engineering at Swansea University found that, from ~5000 children, those with Additional Learning Needs were less proficient in motor skills than their peers. This likely leads to less physical activity & therefore poorer health. shorturl.at/zQlbs
