Play Shaper: Engaging Communities in Play is a
professional development programme to help those who plan, design,
build and manage public space understand the importance of
children’s play and their role in enabling it within the public
realm.
Play Shaper enables partnership working across local authorities
and communities to create and maintain genuinely child-friendly
public space.
Play Shaper is part of Play England’s Engaging Communities in
Play programme which empowers local communities to take
control of spaces where their children would like to play and
promote the longterm sustainability of local play provision
developed through the play pathfinder and playbuilder capital
programme. Further details about the Engaging Communities in Play
programme can be found
here.
Play Shaper is funded by the Department for Education and is
being delivered by Play England drawing on expert support from
Playwork Partnerships and SkillsActive.
