The briefing includes information about:
- Background and scope of the literature review
- Recent developments in childhood and play research
- Policy developments
- How play contributes to wellbeing
- Children’s play today.
The briefing proposes a relational capability approach (drawn from the literature) as a new framework for thinking about children's play and wellbeing. It isn’t a comprehensive summary of findings from the review – it wouldn’t be possible to cover the breadth, depth, complexity and diversity of the research reviewed in such a short document.
