Welcome to Common Threads!

We support adults who work with children to improve the quality of children's play experiences - we do this through training, publications and consultancy. Our 'common thread' is that play is vital for all children, whatever their age and ability and wherever they play. If you work with children - either in paid or voluntary roles - please sign up so that you can get to the free downloads section!

 

 

Autumn Term 2008

Here is a very small selection of some of our special training and publications to help you through the Autumn term! For full details please see our Training and Publications pages.

  • Playful Adults, Playful Children - training suitable for childminders, playworkers, anybody working to the EYFS, and anybody who works where children play.

  • Playwork - Principles into Practice - training which enables playworkers to develop their playwork practice in line with the Playwork Principles

  • Playwork for Development Workers - a one day training course which equips Development workers with lots of playwork theory and practical ideas about how to get this across to practitioners.

  • The Buskers Guide to Risk - explores why risk shouldn't be a four letter word when it comes to children's play. An extract is available to download.

  • Risk Posters - two specially commissioned A2 size posters, indoor and outdoor play spaces - showing that risk in play is not only natural but also desirable!
