New study highlights the benefits of play
Cambridgeshire County Council’s Policy and Insight Team have recently carried out a useful literature review looking at the benefits of play.
The key findings have been brought together into a useful slide deck setting out the benefits under the following themes:
- Physical wellbeing
- Mental wellbeing and happiness
- Social and communities
- Creativity and innovation
- Resilience
- Lifelong learning and self-regulation
The full literature review provides an overview of key benefits of play for children, young people and adults. It is intended to support community bodies, such as Town and Parish Councils, with key information and sources to support applications for play related projects.
