Hi, welcome to the site xx
This extract from the
Best Play publication regarding their own aim may help
QUOTE;
Children's natural propensity to play has been impaired by the loss of suitable public space, the impact of technology, such as television, the personal computer and the motor car, and the changing attitude of society towards children, reflected, for instance, in the increase in parental anxiety about child safety. Play provision should compensate for this loss. Ultimately, the aim of Best Play is to ensure that this compensation is adequate in the light of children's own needs, wishes, capacities and abilities.'
Consider what aspects of play might be sacrificed/children deprived of play through the social, educational and protection issues that you've already covered and see how individuals and groups compensate for that.
If you have access to a copy, the
playwork handbook on amazon.co.uk is one source that explores play deprivation.
Hth, best wishes
