Flintshire County Council and the Play Unit are reviewing their Play Strategy. This strategy will set out how children and young people will have the space and opportunity for lots of different types of play in their areas.

Some consultation has already taken place, but the Play Unit believe that it is really important for children and young people to have their say too – after all, we are talking about how YOU play.

You can look at the strategy by clicking here. Here are some things they would like to do:

More play

We want to make sure that all children and young people have lots of opportunities to play. We need your help, so we will be asking you what you think of the places you play in and how to make them better.

Play in school

Playing can help prepare your brain for learning, so we want to make sure you get a chance to play during school and after school.

Play in your local area

We want your local community to be a great place to play in. We will do this by helping people understand that you have a right to play, and by making sure you can access playful spaces near where you live.

People to support you to play

Where there are playschemes and adventure play areas, we will make sure that there are playworkers there who are trained, and who will support you in having the best possible play experiences

Being safe

We will make sure that play is fun and challenging and that your parents or carers and other adults encourage and support you to play - even when it may get a little risky…

Play in Flintshire

There will be a group of people in Flintshire, called the Play Forum, who will work to promote your right to play and make sure that adults consider you and your play when making decisions about things that happen in your community.

What do you think of these aims? You can tell the Play Unit what you think about them and how they can be made real by sending your ideas through the Flintshire County Council website, signing in to Young Flintshire and posting them below, or sending them in by post to:

I belive that children and young people need more structured play such as football, rugby, tennis, boxing etc. is it possible for more coaches to be introduced in smaller communities such as small villages. This would get children and young focused on getting into local sports teams and not walk the streets and give them drive and motivation to try new sports and even help them get a job from the skills offered from sport and play.
