The Playwork Practice

Playwork practice focuses on supporting children's play as a vital part of their development. Playworkers facilitate an environment where children can engage in spontaneous and imaginative play, allowing them to explore, learn, and express themselves. This practice prioritizes children's autonomy, encouraging them to take risks and make decisions while ensuring their safety. Through observation and thoughtful interaction, playworkers create a space where play can flourish, recognizing its importance for social skills, creativity, and emotional well-being. Ultimately, playwork aims to empower children to develop their own play experiences, fostering resilience and independence.
