This Paper was prepared by one of our JNCTP Executive Members, Perry Else following a JNCTP Study Day, which was held in December 2006 in partnership with London Centre for Playwork Education and Training.

It is a work in progress, and we hope will form the basis of further work, when a democratic Playworkers Association is established.

JNCTP is committed to supporting the establishment of playwork as a recognised profession. Alongside the development of a framework of Playwork Qualifications with the Dip HE/Degree as the fully qualified benchmark, we also recognise the importance of developing an agreed Code of Ethics, which is endorsed and owned by Playworkers, through a Playworkers Association.
