Who should I involve?

This section helps you ensure that anyone interested in your project is encouraged to play an active role.

Any project that aims to develop, improve and sustain play provision within the local community should, as a matter of principle, involve local people from that community in all stages of the planning, design and delivery of the provision. 

Inevitably, there are some people or groups who may feel excluded from local play provision and services. Therefore all play provision should be accessible and inclusive, and anyone beginning to plan new or refurbished provision will need to seek out the views of all parts of the community, encouraging dialogue to tackle any perception issues and barriers to inclusion.

This means:

  1. Working with local people
  2. Involving children and young people
  3. Including all sections of the community
