Survey to Shape WA Play Strategy

Survey to Shape WA Play Strategy

Play Matters Collective and the Commissioner for Children and Young People are leading efforts to gather input for the development of the WA Play Strategy.

The strategy, being developed by the Office of Early Childhood, aims to champion children's right to play and highlight its role in health, wellbeing, learning and development. It will guide improvements to play opportunities across communities, services and government.

As part of the consultation, CCYP is distributing a statewide survey to capture how children and young people experience play in their daily lives. Schools are being encouraged to share the survey to help ensure a broad and representative range of voices across Western Australia are heard.

There are different surveys for primary school children and high school students to complete.

WA Commissioner Dr Jacqueline McGowan-Jones is the patron of Play Matters Collective.
