Evaluate conflicting concepts of play provision, for example socialisation, education, protection, and compensation.
Hi all, I'm currently doing my level 4 playwork, and finding it extremely hard compared to my level 3!
can anybody give me some tips or pointers on the following question.....
Evaluate conflicting concepts of play provision, for example socialisation, education, protection, and compensation.
I've managed to do socialisation, education, and protection, however I'm really struggling on the compensation part.... any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance! xx

Hi, welcome to the site xx
This extract from the Best Play publication regarding their own aim may help
QUOTE;
Children's natural propensity to play has been impaired by the loss of suitable public space, the impact of technology, such as television, the personal computer and the motor car, and the changing attitude of society towards children, reflected, for instance, in the increase in parental anxiety about child safety. Play provision should compensate for this loss. Ultimately, the aim of Best Play is to ensure that this compensation is adequate in the light of children's own needs, wishes, capacities and abilities.'
Consider what aspects of play might be sacrificed/children deprived of play through the social, educational and protection issues that you've already covered and see how individuals and groups compensate for that.
If you have access to a copy, the playwork handbook on amazon.co.uk is one source that explores play deprivation.
Hth, best wishes

HI THERE I REALLY STRUGGLED TO GET MY HEAD AROUND THIS QUESTION SO I KIND OF STARTED TO WAFFLE A LITTLE BIT LOL, BUT MY TUTOR HAS MARKED THIS PART AND HASNT SAID ITS WRONG SO I TAKE IT I DONE OK..... HOPE THIS HELPS.
Socialisation within play provision-
It is important that children develop social skills at an early age to carry through life with them, this area of development is about relationships, being able to feel sorry for someone, knowing what
behaviour is acceptable and having the ability to control emotions, these all closely tie in with
cognitive and language development.
I feel play provisions highly support socialisation for children and young people. Most
provisions will have a varied age range, which I think highly supports socialisation skills, some younger children will feel they can go to older peers for help/advice or to play, where as some may be intimidated by older children.
Social inclusion policies are extremely important within play provisions, some individuals
experience social exclusion, they are not able to take advantage of opportunities open to others
because of aspects of their social situation such a s their educational progress and employment chances, where they live or the nature of their housing, or their disability or chronic illness, or their
experiences of racism or other prejudice. Policies which take action to overcome these
disadvantages promote social inclusion.
Whilst the play provisions have huge advantage for socialisation, some people believe that too much time spent within these provisions will have a negative effect as families provide the basic and most important environment in which children learn the culture of the society of which they are a part. The family consciously and unconsciously teach children the main aspects of any culture, these are:
Values (Beliefs that something is right)
Norms (rules for behaviour)
A shared language
Peers, schools and the media have a strong influence as children grow older, but children learn the foundations of culture within the family.
