Have you got ideas about developing new resources?
We are always keen to hear from practitioners with new ideas for resources and from individuals or organisations who have developed their own resources and would like to help others to stop re-inventing the wheel by making them more widely available! We provide support to help people who have not written or published to do so for the first time. So if you have a good idea or a tried-and-tested resource you'd like to see benefiting more play projects , why not let us know about it?
Do you want to make copies of our resources?
Not a lot of people know this, but generally speaking making copies from publications without permission is illegal. We know that many of you find our resources useful that you like to share them about a bit (!), so we've made it easier (and legal) for you to do so! If you need to make copies of any parts of our publications, you can do this legally by purchasing a multi-user licence. Please contact us if you're unsure about which version of any publication you need to buy.
Do you want to buy lots of our resources?
We do a range of discounts for organisations such as colleges or local authorities who want to buy several copies of resources. If you buy more than six or more copies of one publication on-line, you will receive a confirmation e-mail from us to confirm the price including the relevant discount.
