The playwork perspective for working with children and young people is provided by these principles, which also create the professional and ethical foundation for playwork and explain what makes play and playwork special.
Every youngster and adolescent needs to play. It is innate to want to play. Play is essential to the healthy growth and well-being of people and societies and is a biological, psychological, and social imperative.
Play is a process that is self-determined, organically motivated, and freely chosen. In other words, children and young people choose and manage the themes and goals of their play by acting on their own inclinations, interests, and ideas and doing so according to their own preferences.
The primary goal and purpose of playwork is to encourage and support play, and this should guide the creation of play policies, strategies, and programmes for education and training.
Playworkers prioritise the play process, and they represent play while interacting with adult-led agendas.
The playworker's job is to assist all children and adolescents in creating a space where they can play.
The playworker's reaction to children and adolescents playing is based on a solid understanding of the play process that is current as well as reflective practise.
Playworkers are aware of their own influence on the play area as well as the influence of children's and adolescents' play on themselves.
Playworkers select an intervention approach that helps kids and teens to continue playing. All playworker interventions must strike a balance between risk and the advantages to child development and safety.
