Book PARS training

“The PARS training has made a huge difference to our staff and children. Our staff now have a model of professional practice which enables them to leave children to their own devices and explain how and why they are doing this to sceptical adults! The kids have noticed a big difference and seem much happier as a result.”

“I really enjoyed the PARS Masterclass. The training sessions were thought provoking and generated lively group discussions. Practitioners from a variety of settings attended and it seemed the course offered something for each. I am looking forward to using the methods and techniques explained on the course to encourage my team to become more reflective and stay focussed on what is important to children at our Out of School Club.”

“I am grateful to have taken part in the PARS training. I have learnt a new perspective that resonates really well with my own values; and this new information is continuing to challenge my own practice.”

“No matter which area we are working at now, we can always use the PARS model to try to be more reflective with all the activities that involve kids. I truly wish that people know more about this model, this would be good for kids as well..”

“I always felt that to do Playwork meant that your setting had to be a free for all and couldn’t see how I could do that in my school based clubs. Now I understand that you’ve got to do playwork in the context of your setting, your environment and your kids I’ve been able to have that conversation with the Head teachers of my schools and it’s been really well received!”

“I would highly recommend PARS training to anyone who wants to learn more about children and why play is such an important thing in children’s and, in fact, in everybody’s life.”

“The training was well organized with both theories and practices, which enabled me to quickly understand the PARS module. The module does help adults to improve our understanding of children and play.”
