Our aim is for Blaenau Gwent to be a County where children are increasingly seen outside enjoying the benefits of play. We have an amazing environment in Blaenau Gwent that is conducive with children鈥檚 play and we want to encourage a play friendly environment which provides time, space and permission for children to play. This will need parents, families and professionals in the community to recognise that play is of great importance in children鈥檚 present lives and for their future development. We wish to promote positive attitudes towards children鈥檚 right to play freely in their communities.听

The Play Team works with partners to deliver a wide range of play opportunities for children and young people.听 Our Family Information Service can give up-to-date information about play and leisure opportunities available in different areas of the County Borough.听

Play in Schools听

We are keen to offer rich play environments that best meet the play needs of children and young people of Blaenau-Gwent within their school environments, both for in school and out-of school purposes.听

The Play Team support schools across Blaenau Gwent to assess and develop their play opportunities through guidance and provision of training.听

Play in the Community听

The Play Team is keen to encourage local communities to actively engage with opportunities to promote play.听 There is guidance and training available for developing ideas and community groups.听 Please contact the Play Sufficiency Officer on 01495 355576.
