* Research on an audit of play provision in Swansea - Questionnaires *
Jon Bevan at Interplay is currently researching an audit of play provision in Swansea for the Council.
As part of this audit, he is conducting a series of questionnaires and interviews with stake holders and consumers of play in Swansea, with particular emphasis on disability and play. This forms the consultancy based research of the audit, whereas the desk based research is still ongoing. It will form a key component of the study, as they are looking to identify trends from the 2009 Play Audit, as well as researching new information regarding disability and Play.
The final deadline for this audit is Wednesday 31st March 2010.
You can find the questionnaires to complete in 'resources' to the right of this page. For more information, contact Jon Bevan on 01792 475938 or email: jonbevan@interplay.org.uk

The partnerships are funded by the Welsh Assembly Government. Their vision is for a better start in life, good health, learning opportunity, safe play/leisure and com munity support. Most importantly their aim is for young people to be listened to and respected.
We pass relevant information on to local organisations working with 0-25s. We work with particular regard to the partnerships but present general news online, in newsletters and through email.
We have established a Children & Young People Third Sector Forum. The meetings have been very well attended and incredibly informative so far, in fact so successful it has been decided that they should take place every two months - Click here
