Explore Play Wales
There’s still time to take part in the Playwork Principles research survey. To mark the 20th anniversary of the Playwork Principles, Play Wales has commissioned the Childhood Development and Playwork Team at Leeds Beckett University to undertake a survey on the scale of the use of the principles.
This research is designed to ascertain how widely and in what settings the Playwork Principles have become adopted 20 years since they were first devised. This involves surveying the playwork sector nationally and internationally, to identify:
- organisations and stakeholders who have adopted the Playwork Principles or who use the Playwork Principles to inform their work
- organisations that have adopted alternative forms of guiding principles for playwork.
We invite anyone providing staffed play provision, in whatever setting, to complete the online survey.
Closing date for completing the survey: 31 December 2025
