*Please check that you have completed the skill scan and Playwork Principles information
You must complete the skill scan and Playwork Principles information and return with your booking form to OPA.
Applications received without the following Principles’ information and skill scan will not be accepted and will be returned to the applicant for completion.
All Playwork settings should be working to the Playwork Principles listed below. Please write, in detail,under each one to say how your setting meets them.
Playwork Principles:
These Principles establish the professional and ethical framework for Playwork and as such must be regarded as a whole.
They describe what is unique about play and Playwork, and provide the Playwork perspective for working with children and young people.
They are based on the recognition that children and young people’s capacity for positive development will be enhanced if given access to the broadest range of environments and play opportunities.
The Eight Playwork Principles:
- 1) All children and young people need to play. The impulse to play is innate. Play is a biological, psychological and social necessity, and is fundamental to the healthy development and well being of individuals and communities.
- 3) The prime focus and essence of Playwork is to support and facilitate the play process and this should inform the development of play policy, strategy, training and education.
4
4) For play workers, the play process takes precedence and play workers act as advocates for play when engaging with adult led agendas.
- 5) The role of the playworker is to support all children and young people in the creation of a space in which they can play.
- 6) The playworkers’ response to children and young people playing is based on a sound up to date knowledge of the play process, and reflective practice.
- 7) Playworkers recognise their own impact on the play space and also the impact of children and young people’s play on the playworker.
- 8) Playworkers choose an intervention style that enables children and young people to extend their play. All playworker intervention must balance risk with the developmental benefit and well-being of children.
