The Playwork Education and Training Council for the UK, PETC UK, is a forum for the sector to discuss issues of strategic importance on all aspects of playwork education, training and qualifications.
Membership is drawn from within the sector, including employers from across the UK, and additional representation from appropriate partner organisations such as national governing bodies, further and higher education, awarding organisations and training providers.
