Getting it Right for Play: The Playing Out Survey

The Playing Out Survey seeks the views and experiences of children and young people. It can be used with children of different ages and abilities but the methods used, and the explanations given by those administering the survey, will differ with children of different ages and abilities.

The questionnaire can be used on its own, for example, by local children’s groups, community groups or play providers, or by the Local Authority to contribute to information for the Local Authority Play Sufficiency Assessment. For children unable to complete the questionnaire on their own, help from parents or other adults, may be useful.
