Ag Súgradh le Chéile (ASLC) is a programme developed by the Health Service Executive to promote active play between parent and child.

The aim of the ASLC programme is to promote active play as vital to children’s healthy development – physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually.

The objectives include the following:

  • To increase the active play levels of children through the promotion of active play with parents and their children.
  • To support family based activity by promoting parents involvement in their children’s development through active play.
  • To revive many of the traditional games that are no longer played by children.
  • To support schools to work in partnership with parents.
