Bromley play strategy 2007-2012

There is a great deal more to play than simply having fun. There is a growing body of evidence that good play can make a valuable contribution to every child's health, intellectual, social and emotional development.  As such, promoting and providing high quality play opportunities will help the Council to deliver the five outcomes of Every Child Matters.

The Bromley Play Strategy represents a 5-year vision to ensure that all children have access to local, safe, affordable, high quality play provision. As a result of our research into local play needs, including detailed consultation with children and young people, we identified five key areas for the Strategy to develop:

• Reassurance and support for play

• Extending imaginative and challenging playSpace for teenage play

• Space for teenage play

• Spaces for play in areas of high density housing

• Inclusion, involvement and integration
