Yesterday, I spoke out about the importance of #playgrounds for our children's wellbeing. These spaces are vital for our children's social, mental and physical development. Without urgent action, generations of children will grow up deprived of these key community spaces.

Yesterday, I led Parliament’s first debate on playgrounds in 8 years, the longest in 17 years since @edballs launched the only national play strategy to ever exist.
Playgrounds are about more than play; they’re spaces where children grow, learn, and connect. Yet, they’ve been ignored for far too long, leaving them broken, inaccessible, and outdated.
Thank you to the 642 Bournemouth residents who shared your views with me. Your voices rang loud and clear in Parliament, calling for better, safer, and more inclusive spaces for all children, and Minister @AlexJJNorris was very helpful and supportive.
It’s time to stop neglecting playgrounds and start prioritising our children’s futures.
Here’s my speech 👇

The planning system rarely acknowledges the needs of children. In fact, in the main body of the National Planning Policy Framework for England, children are mentioned only once, and the words ‘youth’ and ‘young’ are entirely absent.

📢 For #OTWeek24, we're highlighting how OTs communicate adaptation needs through the DFG process. @FoundationsHIA have integrated the PEO model into the DFG Making Tool Part 2b, helping OTs better explain why adaptations are necessary and appropriate. tinyurl.com/3xdk8r9m

The wonderful @bronteot is joining us here @wiltscouncil for a master class on adaptations!

Expect demise of Specialist Sections after decades of exemplary service, public and member benefit has been
1) approved by Council?
2) voted for in ballot of members?
3) alternatives agreed by majority?
Because @theRCOT is a member-led and funded (86%) organisation - right?

Still absolutely hate that our professional body is invisible in London. Such a massive mistake
