The second national conference since the COVID pandemic, this year’s conference will celebrate the launch of Play Wales’ most recent publication: Playing and being well.
Described as “a groundbreaking and exciting publication”, the literary review explores play sufficiency and the real-life impacts on the wellbeing of children.
