The Playwork Foundation

Learn how to identify different types of play and unlock a whole new language to explore children's play.

Understanding these help us appreciate how wide-ranging and essential play is in all its forms and how it isn’t just something children ‘do’, but really engage in with their whole selves. This session is delivered by Ali Wood &amp; Julia Sexton.

Ali Wood has been working with children and young people in a range of roles in both statutory and voluntary settings for over four decades - but has made playwork her 'home'. She is an established author and trainer/presenter in playwork and plays mostly with her grandchildren now and at Meriden Adventure Playground, Solihull, where she is also chair of the board of trustees. Ali is Secretary for and a trustee of The Playwork Foundation.
