Abstract
The British Children's Play Survey was conducted in April 2020 with 1,919 parents living in Britain who had a child aged 5 to 11 years. The sample were approximately nationally representative and the data were weighted to the national profile of all adults aged 18+, including those without internet access. The data were weighted based on age, gender, social class, region and level of education. Parents completed the Children's Play Scale, along with measures that asked about independent mobility, parent attitudes to risk in play, children's organised activities, screen time, mental health and holidays along with questions about respondent's mental health and some questions related to COVID-19. A series of questions were also asked about socio-demographic and geographic characteristics.
