Playwork Level 3 training initiative

We are helping to deliver the Children's Plan commitment to provide funded training for 4,000 playworkers to achieve Level 3 qualifications by 2011.

The vision is for a playwork workforce that is qualified to at least Level 3 where appropriate and can make a full contribution to the Every Child Matters agenda.
