Intervention: practice versus theory. Playwork students speak out
Julia Sexton, Craig Allchin, Fred Martin, Jo Bennet, Laura Rutherford, Mel Mycroft
"I'm gonna jump on you 'till you are sick!" Does knowledge of levels of intervention help when you are faced with a complex situation which requires an immediate response? To intervene or not to intervene that is the question!
Join the Sheffield Hallam University students as they explore through this interactive and lively workshop the experiences they have encountered whilst on placement and how these related to their theoretical understanding of intervention. Join in the journey of discovery and explore the factors that affect how, when and why playworkers intervene.

"Butting out" forum theatre on intervention
Jacky Kilvington, Karen Benjamin, Ali Wood and Dan Rees-Jones
This workshop consists of a short dramatisation of an end of school/beginning of play situation with opportunities for you to change the interventions that are made by the playworker and thereby consider how this affects the children and the play.
1.5 hours suitable for all 12:15-13:45

Interventions – Therapeutic, Developmental, Evolutionary – Where do you stand?
The need for intervention, by playworkers in playwork settings, is based on a range of different theories related to children and their play, but do these interventions support or sabotage children’s play? This session will explore some of the ideas that lie behind different approaches to intervention and will query whether we’ve got it right. Do children want or need us to intervene when they are playing and if so why? Is there a moral imperative, a need for honest adult/child interaction or something more sinister behind intervention? What do you think?
1.5 hours suitable for all 14:00-15:30

Different Play Faces for Different Play Spaces
This workshop will be exploring intervention styles dependent on setting, discussing whether it is necessary to alter intervention dependent on the child, setting or situation or whether you can choose and stick to one intervention style throughout.
