A Plan for Play is an Eye View Series Report, published by The Children's Alliance. The Eye view Series Reports are authoritative ‘single issue’ studies designed for everyone to learn from and understand – from politicians to professionals, locally and nationally – and of course, parents and carers. The Plan for Play calls for children's play to be prioritised in primary schools, for school staff to receive training on the subject of play and for it to be prioritised beyond the EYFS. The report calls for ring-fenced funding for play, ensuring sufficient opportunities for play across all Local Authority areas, for play to be identified as a protected characteristic within the Equality Act 2010 and for all children to be able to fulfil their right to play when sick, in accordance with the NICE (2012) guidance
