Making Space for Play in Irish Schoolyards Survey

MAKING SPACE FOR PLAY IN IRISH SCHOOLYARDS is evaluating existing provision for play in primary schoolyards across Ireland

About this project

This is the first national research project to examine provision for children’s Right to Play under Article 31, in schoolyards and also aims to;

  • Raise consciousness on play rights provision in schoolyards
  • Develop a novel framework of indicators to support the monitoring and progressive realization of play rights in schoolyards.
  • Develop guidance for schools to create optimum conditions for all children to play relevant to the Irish context.
  • Contribute to cross-sectoral education, health & social policy aims.

This four-phase project will use diverse methods with school communities to gather data on different aspects of play provision and co-design case study exemplars with schools.
