Positive Play

Fantastic resources to help those with low esteem or emotional or behavioural problems, the Positive Play Support Programme can be found in towns and rural districts, ʻdeprivedʼ and affluent areas, in a variety of settings.

This unique scheme helps children through play and has developed from a relatively small Derbyshire based scheme into a significant UK wide programme supporting infants to teenagers from all kinds of backgrounds, with all kinds of needs. From youngsters struggling with low self-esteem to older children coping with family break down and emotional turmoil, the PPSP has helped hundreds of families.

• Positive Play is now increasingly used by Behaviour Support Services in England and Wales
• Implemented in 98% of all secondary schools in Derbyshire and in the vast majority of primary schools
• Widely recognised as synonymous with good practice
• Now piloting projects in Childrenʼs Centres to support out of school needs
• Successfully applied in many non-academic settings including Womenʼs Refuges, Social Services and Health Services facilities
• Continuing to promote intervention and prevention and so avoidexclusions

Continually evolving and adapting to meet the huge demand for its expertise and resources, the PPSP has now had to move to larger premises. This new Centre of Excellence is testimony to the hard work and tenacity of its founders.
