Ethical practice for the playwork practitioner

Stonehouse, DP

Abstract

This paper discusses the importance of ethics for play and playwork practitioners as the sector and work force move towards becoming a recognised profession within the United Kingdom. Exactly what is meant by the term ethics is defined, before moving on to a discussion of two key areas. Firstly the ethical framework known as F.A.I.R. devised by Rowson (2006) and secondly the four ethical principles of Beauchamp and Childress (2013). Throughout links are made to the eight Playwork Principles developed by the Playwork Principles Scrutiny Group, Cardiff in 2005 and endorsed by SkillsActive (2013a).
