Scotland’s Play Vision Statement and Action Plan 2025-2030 is a Scottish Government publication designed to reflect the vision of play for Scotland for the next five years and the steps the Scottish Government will take within that time to achieve their vision and aims.
“Our vision for Scotland is that play is welcomed, celebrated and nurtured. That every child is able to play across all stages and aspects of their life to support their social development, resilience, language and communication development, health, physical and mental wellbeing.
This Vision Statement and Action Plan reaffirms the recognition of the importance of play from the earliest stage of a child’s life through to independent adolescence and a commitment to aiding children’s development through all types of play. It aims to deliver collaborative actions that will support nurturing and encouraging play opportunities for all children in Scotland.”
We are delighted to be celebrating the launch of Scotland’s Play Vision Statement and Action Plan 2025-2030.
This is a clear commitment from the Scottish Government to play opportunities and experiences for all our children and young people.
It is fantastic that children’s rights and voices are at the heart of this new vision for play alongside an enthusiastic cross-sectoral collaboration.
A big thank you to everyone involved in this exciting new plan for children’s play.
More play and better play is good for everyone!
