Edinburgh 'Playing Out' Pilot Evaluation

Overview

We have recently had interest from different groups across Edinburgh wishing to hold street play events in their local communities. In response to public interest, we launched a pilot 'Playing Out' programme which ran between April and August 2017. Modelled on the Bristol 'Playing Out' scheme, its aim is ultimately about enabling traditional street play for children in their street/road. You can find more information about 'Playing Out' at http://playingout.net/.

Why your views matter

We are now reviewing the pilot to evaluate the following:

• how effective and popular the 'Playing Out' events were;
• how people found the process of organising the events; and
• if any improvements could be made – should 'Playing Out' events be held again in the future.

We want to find out views of people who were directly involved in, or affected in any way, by the 'Playing Out' events (including event applicants/organisers, families who took part, local residents, Community Council members, Residents Association members etc.).

If you take part in the survey, you have the chance to win vouchers for the Edinburgh Bicycle Co-operative, we have 2 x £10 vouchers and 1 x £5 as prizes.

You can get this document on tape, in Braille, large print and various computer formats if you ask us. Please contact Interpretation and Translation Service (ITS) on 0131 242 8181 and quote reference number 17-2746. ITS can also give information on community language translations.

The survey results will feature in a report for the Transport and Environment Committee in 2018.
