Calderdale's play strategy

'All children and young people in Calderdale have an equal right to free play'

In Calderdale we believe that all children and young people should have the same opportunities to express themselves clearly through play in the areas where they live. They can learn, through a variety of inclusive play opportunities, which allows them to extend their experiences by challenging boundaries and exploring risks in a safe environment. By working together with children and their families, communities and local providers, we aim to address play needs through active involvement and consultation.

The success of this play strategy relies upon the commitment and support of the play partnership to deliver improvements. The play partnership is made up of representatives from the local authority, the voluntary and community sector.

The membership is:

• Calderdale Children's Fund
• Calderdale MBC (Planning Services, Safer Cleaner Greener, Young Peoples Service, Commissioning and Partnerships - Children's Services, Community Safety, Extended Schools)
• Calderdale Parent and Carers Council|
• Community Foundation for Calderdale|
• Eureka! The National Children's Museum|.
