Parents of children aged 0-11 were asked about which sources and resources they have found helpful when playing with their children.

The vast majority of these parents (87%) said that family and friends were helpful sources of support when playing with their children. Half of these parents (50%) said that Play, Talk, Read and/or Bookbug programmes were helpful. Figure 5.1 shows the responses to this question.
