National Inclusive Play Network (NIP Network)
Membership Application

  
     
The National Inclusive Play Network (NIP Network) is a  community of organisations and individuals who are committed to the inclusion of disabled children and young people in play, leisure and childcare services. It  provides a bank of information to demonstrate the growing commitment to, and success of, inclusive practice.

The Network is being developed as part of the KIDS Playwork Inclusion Project (PIP) funded by the Sure Start Unit (Department for Education and Skills). We hope it will give you good ideas, make sure you don't feel isolated as you attempt to change your practice, and keep you in touch with new inclusive projects, events, publications and policies.

Whether you are promoting, supporting or running an inclusive setting or service already, or working towards that, this is your chance to sign up to inclusion.

By filling in this form you will automatically become a member of our National Inclusive Play Network and receive regular email bulletins. Please complete this form even if you have filled it in previously.

If you do not have an e-mail address, you can still be involved with the NIP Network through copies of PIP Network News. These are available as inserts in Playtoday, the play sector's bi-monthly news-mag. Get your free subscription to Playtoday by contacting 020 7843 6016 or by emailing:
playtoday@ncb.org.uk
