PARS is the first holistic model to describe and define professional playwork practice. Created by Dr Shelly Newstead from research & now used internationally.
Joined May 2019
Adults who use PARS are less likely to intervene in children's self-directed activities and are more open to children's risk-taking behaviours (Chan et al, 2020).
