Play and Leisure
What we asked you
We asked you to put in order of preference four areas of work. These were:
Safe Places to play
Affordable Activity
Accessible Activity
Age suitable play and leisure
What you told us
You told us that your top preference was safe places to play.
What we are doing
We have asked each local council in Northern Ireland to tell us about their play policies. We will be following this up with local councils to support their development of play policies. .
But we also want to make sure you have a say. We undertook a campaign called 'Here we are nowhere' to help children and young people tell us what is good and bad about play where they live and why areas are safe or unsafe to spend time in. The best entries will be celebrated later this year. You can view the
images and videos here

A policy paper to inform Government with recommendations on play and things to do will be published in June 2010 as part of our
Make it Right campaign
