Cad a chiallaíonn sé seo?

Conas a gheobhaidh mé mo cheart chun súgartha mar dhéagóir?

Conas a chosnaítear an ceart sin in Éirinn?

An raibh a fhios agat? 

An bhfuil an ceart sin ag gach leanbh in Éirinn?

Cad a chiallaíonn sé seo?

De réir Airteagal 31 de CNACL go bhfuil sé de cheart ag leanaí súgradh agus scíth a ligean.

Beidh cuma dhifriúil air seo do leanaí d’aoiseanna difriúla.

Tá súgradh an-tábhachtach mar ní chabhraíonn sé leat forbairt, agus bíonn tionchar díreach aige ar do fholláine freisin. Cabhraíonn sé le leanaí caidrimh a thógáil, fadhbanna a réiteach agus feabhsaíonn sé a gcuid scileanna cognaíocha, fisiciúla, sóisialta agus mothúchánacha. 

Conas a chosnaítear an ceart sin in Éirinn?

There is no law in this country that protects your right to play. Ireland has a national policy on play, called ‘Ready, Steady, Play!’. However, it was published in 2004 and lots of people want to see an updated one.  
Adults and the government should still promote your right to play. For example, in new housing estates you might see a playground being built by the local authority, and in school, you get regular breaks throughout the day.  
‘Teenspace’ is a national policy for young people focusing on the need for more recreational or ‘hang out’ spaces for teenagers.
In 2025, local authorities asked young people through their local Comhairle na Nóg (youth council) to come up with an idea for a project in their area that would address the recreational needs of young people. Initiatives like this are welcomed and in line with Article 12 of the UNCRC- Having a say. 

An raibh a fhios agat?

San oideachas, is féidir le foghlaim atá bunaithe ar shúgradh foghlaim a dhéanamh níos taitneamhaí agus níos ábhartha agus cabhraíonn sé le páistí an fhaisnéis a mheabhrú níos fearr.

An bhfuil an ceart sin ag gach leanbh in Éirinn?

Children’s right to play may be impacted by other rights. For example, if a child is living in emergency accommodation, there may not have much room to play. 
If an area or school has very little green spaces, or there is not much stuff to do, this may also affect a child’s right to play.
