PW 3-9: Understand play work principles
1.1 explain the innate drive for children and young people to play.
Through play children explore social, material and imaginary worlds and their relationship with them, elaborating all the while a flexible range of responses to the challenges they encounter.
Children are getting less and less opportunity to PLAY as more and more structured ‘educational’ activities takes its place. Play deprivation is now recognised as a real issue
The national ‘play work principles’ state:
"All children and young people need to play. The impulse to play is innate. Play is biological, psychological and social necessity, and is fundamental to the healthy development and well being of individuals and communities."
"Play is a process that is freely chosen, personally directed and intrinsically motivated. That is, children and young people determine and control the content and intent of their play, by following their own instincts, ideas and interests in their own way and for their own."

The prime focus and essence of play work is to support and facilitate the play process and this should inform the development of play policy, strategy, training and education.
