Organisations are encouraging everyone to get involved in play as something that is always, and without exception, for everyone.
The Early Years Alliance has launched its third National Week of Play, which will focus on how to ensure that play in the early years fosters and supports a sense of positivity and inclusivity, regardless of age, gender, or background.
The Alliance’s National Week of Play will run from Monday 19 June to Sunday 25 June. The week will celebrate play through a range of activities, including an Alliance Connect event exploring the importance of connecting through play, a range of tips, ideas, and activities for early years professionals to try throughout the week, and ideas and resources to encourage parents and carers to get involved.
