Play Strategies and Resources
Regional Play Managers: From 4th September 2006, Regional Play Managers, employed by Play England, have been established in all the English Regions. Part of their job is to help local areas develop play strategies by working with local authorities. Click here for more details. The Regional Play Manager for the South East is Wendy Brookfield. Please contact her at wbrookfield@ncb.org.uk.
Some of the play strategies we feature come from outside the South East, but we believe the principles will remain the same. We hope the following help you:
