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.

Quality assurance visits

SkillsActive has a team of quality assurance verifiers from a range of professional backgrounds. They all have extensive experience in the assessment and delivery of quality adult education and training.

On average, 20 per cent 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 high standards set out in SkillsActive quality assurance systems.
