SW of ENGLAND PLAY AND PLAYWORK BAROMETER 2013 |
1. INTRODUCTION TO THE SURVEY
SHOULD I COMPLETE THE SURVEY?
Yes! YOUR opinion matters to us. Please complete the survey if you work in play as a volunteer, paid worker, manager or owner/contractor/consultant/freelancer.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY PLAY AND PLAYWORK?
Play is typically understood to be 'freely chosen, personally directed and intrinsically motivated' (undertaken for its own sake). Playwork seeks to enrich and enhance children’s play. It takes place wherever adults support children’s play. Playwork is not driven by prescribed education or care outcomes, although of course, play may have educational benefits and may take place in childcare settings.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The survey wants to find out what people involved in play in England, think about play in their part of England, at the end of 2013.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THE SURVEY?
About 10-20 minutes
WHEN DO YOU NEED IT RETURNED?
Ideally, by Wednesday 18th December.
IS IT CONFIDENTIAL?
Yes. The only people with access to the results are Chris Martin and Dr. John McKendrick. No individual will be identified in the research report.
WHO IS ASKING THE QUESTIONS?
Chris Martin (SW Play Forum) and Dr. John McKendrick (Board of Directors, Play Scotland) are administering the survey. John is administering the same survey in Scotland and we will compare results.
