A new education and training consortium has been launched to improve playwork education and training in England.
Playwork England will aim to facilitate collaboration between those involved in playwork education and training in this country.According to the education and training consortium, in the last 15 years changes to Government policy, funding streams and the regulatory framework for the children’s workforce have resulted in the collapse of the playwork infrastructure across England and a lack of playwork training and education opportunities.To address this, Playwork England will develop a strategy to ensure that playwork maintains its ‘distinct’ status and identity within England’s regulatory qualifications framework.
