More about Playwork Wales and what we do

Playwork

Playwork is a relatively new profession that exists because children tend not to have the freedom to go out and roam and play in the ways they used to. There is a growing number of play spaces staffed by playworkers - inside and out - that give children the freedoms and opportunities to play they wouldn't otherwise have.
