Play Sufficiency Assessment

Playing Out

Children have a right to play. 

Through play, children and young people can explore the world around them in a creative and engaging way. Research shows that children experience a range of health, wellbeing, developmental and educational benefits from outdoor play, and through learning in, and connecting with, nature.

Ensuring children’s access to play and engaging children in the planning system upholds their right to play and relax. 

By completing our questionnaire, you will be helping Inverclyde Council assess existing play spaces for children in their area to better understand the spaces that are working well, and the improvements that require to be made for the creation of better play environments. This survey will help us understand what you like and don’t like about the outside play spaces in your area. It may also help us to find new spaces for you to play with your family and friends.

The questionnaire applies to children of all ages, from 0 - 16. It can be completed by clicking on the PLAYING OUT SURVEY link on this page.
