A play friendly workforce for Wales

Author: Play Wales
Date: November 2020

This plan includes priorities for upskilling the workforce in relation to children’s play, both for those working face-to-face with children and those whose work impacts on the places children play.

The plan includes:

  • Clear and concise definitions of the playwork workforce and the play workforce
  • Challenges to address for the two workforces
  • Play Wales’ strategic and operational priorities for the two workforces.

To implement this workforce development plan, we are working closely with a range of partners including playwork settings, local authorities, the Welsh Government, and childcare and playwork organisations.
