Play in Lockdown: An international study of government and civil society responses to Covid-19 and their impact on children’s play and mobility

On August 26, 2020, Tim Gill, an independent researcher and International Play Association member, and Robyn Monro Miller, President of the International Play Association, released their study report: ‘Play in Lockdown: An international study of government and civil society responses to Covid-19 and their impact on children’s play and mobility’.

The study collected data from 25 countries on lock-down measures during the month of May 2020 as they related to children’s access to outdoor play and mobility. The authors created a Child Lockdown Index (CLI) to compare the severity of measures across countries.

The report includes an overview of clinical and epidemiological evidence, a summary of their study findings, and a discussion on the collateral damage lock-down measures have had on children.
