In our #Playday2018 statement, the UK's Children's Commissioners talked about how all adults can support the #RightToPlay. You can read the full statement here: cypcs.org.uk/news/in-the-new… #UKPlayday
Text reading: "Adults can support the right to play by thinking about how we can help children and young people have time, space, permission and support to play— both in their family life and in their community."
