Training & Development Programme 2014 - 2015
Who we are: Milton Keynes Play Association is a registered charity, operating in Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas. Our role is to support play development, primarily in the voluntary and community sector. We achieve this through sharing skills and knowledge, providing low cost resources, service delivery and representation. The team would like to welcome you to the 2014/2015 training and development programme, which we hope will support your varied needs, inspire and promote a quality play service. Yet again we have not increased the costs for the majority of our courses.
Workforce development: We work in partnership with Milton Keynes Council, and are registered with the National Skills Academy to deliver Play & Playwork training in the South-East. We deliver around 150 training and development opportunities to somewhere in the region of 2,000 learners a year.

Who are our training and development opportunities aimed at? Primarily our courses are specifically designed for those caring for children and young people whether you work in an after school club, school, nursery, pre-school, as a childminder or help in a community group. However our core competence training and development will appeal to the statutory, private or public sector workforce.
Where does the training take place? The majority of our courses and workshops are delivered in our training facilities at Kiln Farm with free parking. These are self-contained training suites, which are all equipped with audio visual equipment and are air conditioned.

Sensory Integration Disorder Have you ever had a child who does not like too much noise, or gets frustrated if there is too much choice not knowing what to do first? Sensory Integration Disorder (known as SID) is often undiagnosed, but it can impact children’s lives and behaviour. This workshop explores the condition and provides helpful and practical advice to those working with children who have sensory overloads.
