The Charter for Children's Play sets out a vision for play, plus the basic principles of what play means for children.   

This booklet is a practical guide for those using the Charter and promoting its messages. For parents and carers, play providers, planners and decision-makers, Making it Happen explores the action points needed to implement and promote the charter statements.

The booklet also summarises recent developments in play and children's policy and provides links to supporting documents.
