Policy for Play: Responding to Children's Forgotten Right
Autor Adrian Voceen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 oct 2015
Play is fundamental to children’s health and development, but today, their space and opportunity for doing so is being threatened. In Policy for Play, Adrian Voce uses case studies from the United Kingdom, Europe, and North and South America to explore states’ obligations to children under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and its 2013 General Comment. While considering the effects that lack of opportunities for play have on children’s lives, he argues that strategies for public health, education, and even environmental sustainability would be more effective with a better-informed perspective on the importance of allowing children the time and space to play. Challenging both play advocates and governments to produce effective policies that protect children’s right to play, this book will be an essential tool for practitioners and campaigners around the world.

Recenzii
"A very interesting and engaging book for anyone who is looking for questions of why the development of a UK national Play Strategy has been such a hard journey, or for any international agency wishing to take this path in the future."
"Policy for Play is a good read, and a starting point to asking questions."
"This is the story of the short-lived political recognition of children’s play by the UK government. Adrian Voce takes us through the exciting highs and subsequent lows with great clarity, attention to detail and no little passion."
"This engaging and timely book is a really welcome addition to published work on play and policy in the UK. It will be an essential read for anyone seeking to understand how play and policy are interconnected in practice."
“In 2010 a very promising Play Strategy for England was set out. The author of this book was an important actor in this process and shares his inspiring experiences in this book.”
