INTERPLAY

TRAINING

Interplay provides training for all of its employees and volunteers. In addition employees can take part in training provided by PlayRight with a wide range of play and leisure workers from other agencies.

The aim of sending our workers to this joint training is to:

Improve communication between Interplay and non Interplay staff

De-mystify the skills of and knowledge of specialist workers

Break down negative attitudes about disability

Create a wider understanding of the aims and methods that help the process of integration and inclusion

Provide workers with the skills they need to work directly with children and their families

Interplay can provide a training service for other Authorities in order to promote the ideas and methods of Interplay and to increase incoming funds to the project.

The training undertaken for Swansea is usually 3 day playtraining for the leisure services workers and Interplay workers and in addition, one day First Aid training and one day Leaders training. Interplay staff get a specific one day course run by us. The training undertaken for Neath Port Talbot playworkers is usually a two and a half day training and an additional half day First Aid. A further day specifically for staff from community leisure centres has been held in Penyrheol in Gorseinon, this is a single day as opposed to the 2 day training held in Neath Port.
