The first part, which states that local authorities must assess whether their local area offers children enough opportunities to play, commenced in November 2012.     The second part, which commenced in July 2014, says that local authorities must secure enough opportunities for children to play in their area, as far is reasonable and practical.   Every local authority in Wales must complete a Play Sufficiency Assessment (PSA) every three years. The next PSA is required to be submitted to the Welsh Government by 30th June 2025 and requires cabinet approval prior to submission.
