Playwork Agenda

The Playwork Agenda is a set of principles guiding professionals who facilitate children’s play. It emphasizes the importance of providing environments that support spontaneous, child-led activities, encouraging creativity, independence, and social interaction. The agenda values play as vital for children’s development, wellbeing, and learning, and advocates for respect, safety, and freedom within play spaces. It encourages adults to observe, support, and create opportunities for children to explore and grow through their own chosen activities, recognizing play as a fundamental aspect of healthy childhood development.
