Tools Categories: Quality in Play

Designed by Inclusive Play in association with Kids: the disabled children’s charity

A recognised resource as part of the UK government’s Accessible Britain Challenge, PiPA is a tool to help you design and assess new or existing play areas. PiPA will help you understand a wide range of disabilities without being an expert, ensuring you offer the best inclusive provision. PiPA is broken down into five key areas to help you understand what parents with disabled children have to consider before planning a trip to a play area. With this information it makes it a lot easier to design more inclusively and assess existing provision.

Try it out on a new design or take it to your local park to see how inclusive your community play area is.
