We want to ensure the Play Shaper programme
reaches the highest standards.
SkillsActive, the Sector Skills Council for
Active Leisure, Learning and Well-being, provides quality control
of both the content and delivery of Play Shaper seminars, and the
routes to endorsement and validation.
SkillsActive is working closely with other
Sector Skills Councils covering relevant professional sectors (such
as those involved with landscape architects and designers, planners
and developers, parks and leisure, police and community safety, and
regeneration and housing) to ensure the relevance and compatibility
of the Play Shaper programme.
This includes validation of the programme
within other sectors’ continuing professional development
frameworks.
Endorsement and quality assurance visits
Play Shaper is endorsed by Skills Active. The
endorsement process is underpinned by a robust quality assurance
procedure. Training is reviewed by a sector professional and is
marked against industry approved criteria.
On average, 20% of all Play Shaper
professional development seminars receive a quality assurance visit
from a verifier. These visits help to ensure that each seminar
reaches the highest standards set out in SkillActive quality
assurance systems.
