We are delighted to be celebrating the launch of this important document. It is a clear commitment from the Scottish Government to play opportunities and experiences for all our children and young people.
Getting it Right for Play
Step by step advice and tools to engage with children and communities in the assessment and development of play spaces. Shaped by extensive engagement with families, communities, and organisations and informed by recent legislation, our updated guidance supports the implementation of our world-leading framework for children’s right to play in Scotland.
Bonfire Night Games - Risk and Play!
Lots of us remember remember the 5th of November with happy memories of sparklers, bonfires, and toffee apples.But as adults, we can be fearful about putting “play” and “fire” in the same sentence.
We have created a guide to enjoying a safe bonfire night that is rich in valuable play opportunities.
We are very grateful to the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service for approving the content for safe activities on bonfire night.
