Even before Covid-19 lockdowns closed playgrounds and effectively legislated that children between five and 11 could not meet friends, campaigners were concerned. Schools, responding to increasing academic demands and keen to control behaviour risks, have cut down on playtime: a 2019 study found five- to seven-year-olds have 45 minutes less time to play each week than in 1995, while 11- to 16-year-olds have lost 65 minutes. At least one school has removed the bully from the playground by removing the playground altogether.
