Play England

an economic evaluation of play provision

final report

The objective of this research was to generate economic evidence of the benefits of staffed play provision. Two specific forms of play provision were evaluated: adventure playgrounds and after school play clubs.

The economic value of these forms of play provision was assessed by undertaking cost-benefit analysis (CBA). The CBA compared the costs of providing the interventions with their benefits in terms of health and educational outcomes.

The CBA answered the following two questions:

• What is the economic value (£) of an adventure playground, compared with no playground?
• What is the economic value (£) of an after school club staffed with qualified play personnel, compared with an after school play club not staffed with qualified play personnel?

The research adopted the following stages:

• A review of the evidence available to estimate the benefits of staffed play provision.
• Interviews with experts to validate the evidence found and fill in gaps in the data. 
• The construction of decision models to link the short term effects on children to medium and longer term benefits measured in terms of adults' educational and health outcomes.
