SUMMARY:PlayBoard AGM & State of the Sector (SAC) Findings Launch
DESCRIPTION:PlayBoard members are invited to join us for our 39th Annual General Meeting taking place in NICVA\, Duncairn Gardens\, Belfast on 14 November. \n\n\n\nThe event will review PlayBoard’s continued work over the past year in leading the play agenda. Following our AGM\, we will share findings from our recent State of the Sector – School Age Childcare survey. \n\n\n\nThis event is also open to non-members with an interest in School-Age Childcare services. \n\n\n\nWith work progressing on the development of the NI Executive’s Early learning and Childcare Strategy for Northern Ireland alongside a review of the Minimum Standards for childcare providers\, this is a critical time for the School-Age Childcare and playwork sector. \n\n\n\nTo ensure that we have a clear understanding of both the opportunities and challenges facing School-Age Childcare providers\, PlayBoard in partnership with the School-Age Childcare Forum undertook a State of the Sector survey. The survey was an opportunity for School-Age Childcare providers to share a range of information about practice\, workforce and quality within their setting alongside their views on the challenges facing the sector now and in the immediate future. For parents/carers with a child/ren attending School-Age Childcare\, the survey was an opportunity to have their say and help shape the future of play-based School-Age Childcare Services in Northern Ireland. \n\n\n\nIt is crucial that the value of School-Age Childcare is championed and supported. Join us on 14 November when we’ll be sharing the findings from this important survey. \n\n\n\nClick here to download the Programme and AGM papers. \n\n\n\nRegistration from 9:30am\, with the event beginning at 10:00am. \n\n\n\nWe hope to see you then! \n\n\n\nBook your place at https://PBAGMSoS2024.eventbrite.co.uk  \n\n\n\nSign up for FREE PlayBoard membership.

SUMMARY:Making Inclusive Practice Playful
DESCRIPTION:A practical look at how school-age childcare settings can further develop inclusive practices. \n\n\n\nWith 1 in 5 children needing additional support\, it is crucial that School-Age Childcare providers adapt policy and processes to ensure not only inclusive practice\, but that all children’s needs (including play needs) are being met. \n\n\n\nDuring the workshop\, we will explore Additional Needs Policy & Practice as well as taking a practical look at adapting play and implementing appropriate strategies for managing a group of children with differing needs and abilities. \n\n\n\nThis free session is suitable for School-Age Childcare registered persons\, managers\, deputy managers and staff. \n\n\n\nFacilitators: Laura Perry\, PlayBoard and Shelly McGee\, NCN. \n\n\n\nBook your FREE place at https://PBInclusivePractice151124.eventbrite.co.uk
