Overview

Imagine a world where children were not allowed to play. No laughter, no games, no imagination. A world where a child's right to play was denied, and instead, they were forced to focus on academic studies and adult responsibilities. It's hard to imagine such a sad reality, but unfortunately, it's all too common in today's society. That's why we're excited to introduce you to our Child Playwork course, where we explore the theory, principles, and practices of playwork and how it can positively impact a child's development.

Our course is designed to help you understand the many benefits of play in a child's life and how it can contribute to their education, learning, health, and well-being. From exploring the economic and social benefits of playwork to designing play spaces and understanding the administrative context of a playwork provision, our twelve-module programme covers all aspects of child playwork.

At the heart of our course is the understanding that play is not just a way to pass the time but an essential aspect of childhood. It provides children with a safe and stimulating environment to explore, learn and grow, and it's our responsibility to ensure they have access to it. So, whether you're a parent, educator or someone who wants to make a positive impact on children's lives, our Child Playwork course is the perfect place to start. Enrol now!

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
