Consultancy

PLAYLINK acts as a sceptical friend to our clients.

We believe a core PLAYLINK strength to be our ability to draw upon and work across three key areas of our activity: design; consultancy; learning. Each aspect of our work informs the other.

Across the range of our activities we are deeply involved in the dialogue between theory, policy, aspiration and the often messy business of getting things done in practice. We are unembarrassed idealists, but our feet are firmly planted on the ground.

Thus we have undertaken various consultancy commissions with a range of bodies, for example, Forestry Commission, local authorities, Registered Social Landlords, Play Associations, voluntary and statutory sector generally.

Thinking it through

PLAYLINK work covers a wide range of commissions including:

• consultancy and advice
• play policy and strategy development
• reviews
• feasibility studies
• play space reviews and assessment
• formulation of play plans
• design evaluation
• Pathfinder and Playbuilder support, for example: assessing sites for inclusion in programme;
• reviewing design schemes
• fundraising and organisational development

Our endeavours are directed towards unleashing possibility, countering defensive practices, loosening the grip of received opinion.
