All Children Can Play
Play is a child’s right – it should be simple, joyful, and open to All. Every child deserves the chance to play freely with others, explore, imagine, and have fun.
Yet for many disabled children, play is not fully accessible. They are often left on the sidelines or given alternative activities that are less enjoyable. This training focuses on inclusive play, exploring how to remove barriers, create welcoming environments, and ensure that all children can participate, engage, and thrive through play.
This training is suitable for anyone who works with, supports, or has an interest in children and young people and wants to better understand the importance of inclusive play. It is particularly relevant for those who wish to develop their knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to ensure all children, including disabled children, can participate fully in play opportunities.
