I am writing this in support of Tim Gill’s blog
http://rethinkingchildhood.com/2014/01/20/help-build-policy-case-play/
asking for help to enable him to respond to the request from Nick Hurd for evidence in support of play.
I believe this is the first time that this Government has directly asked for engagement with the play sector at this level, which must make it one of the most important opportunities we have had to promote the interests of children in play. Consequently I am simply asking all the people who have an interest in this field to support Tim with time and thought. It may be a long time before we have another opportunity like this, so please help!

Thanks for the plug Robin – and just to echo your request. All contributions and help would be much appreciated.
