Playwork Framework

The Playwork Framework is a set of principles and practices designed to support children's play in various environments, particularly in educational and recreational settings. It emphasizes the importance of play for children's development, promoting creativity, social skills, and problem-solving. Playworkers facilitate play by providing safe spaces and resources, observing children’s interactions, and ensuring their needs are met without directing their activities. This framework acknowledges the unique nature of children's play as a vital part of their learning and growth, helping to foster independence and resilience.
