OPAL is also calling for guidance for schools on what to do and how to do it, and on OFSTED to ensure it is happening.

The basis for the campaign is a research report, The Case for Play in Schools: A review of the literature, edited by Wendy Russell and published in October 2021. It explores the value of diverse playtime experiences for children’s development.
