We are pleased to bring you Exploring Play Sufficiency, a series of four free lunchtime webinars looking at the why, how and what of play sufficiency at multiple scales. The programme is brought to you by the University of Gloucestershire and Ludicology, and is supported by Play Wales. It is a part of our research into the Welsh Government’s Play Sufficiency Duty and the adoption and implementation of the concept of play sufficiency in a wider UK context. Put simply, play sufficiency is about children having sufficient space, time and permission to play in their everyday lives. In Wales and Scotland, this is a national policy placing statutory duties on local authorities. In England, some local authorities are doing this of their own accord.
