Lynne McDermott

Lynne McDermott is currently working for the Meynell Games Group as a playwork trainer across the South coast from West Sussex down to Devon. Lynne delivers training in all areas of Playwork. This might be a short one off day session to a full Level 3 Diploma. Lynne works on a regular basis as a playworker at Ocklynge After School Club, Playscheme and when absolutely necessary works at the Breakfast Club.

Lynne finished her Foundation Degree in Playwork at Brighton three years ago but still has not decided what step to take next – any suggestions? Soon Lynne will be back in the learner’s seat as she will be, one of many trainers, needing to attain an (A1) Assessor Award which will enable her to extend her training options in keeping up with the new qualification.

Lynne enjoys attending other conferences and her favourite is the Beauty of Play where she has the chance not only to learn but to catch up with other playworkers in an informal setting. Perry is always the perfect host and makes everybody, from playworkers new to the field to fellow silverbacks, feel welcome and valued.

In her free time Lynne enjoys meeting up with friends and sharing good conversation and a bottle or two of red. She has two dogs and when not in the office she will be found walking them on the beach or in the forests down in Bournemouth where she recently returned to after living in Brighton for 20 years.

Lynne will be found most of the tie looking after the Meynell Games Bookseller
