Measuring Outcomes and Quality Assurance
Play therapy is a very effective intervention. The latest findings show that from a study of 8,000 cases 83% of children receiving play therapy have made significant positive change.
Children who were referred for play therapy due to their behaviour, anger, attention, hyperactivity and friendships became
- Noticeably calmer and happier in school
- They began to make healthier relationships with peers, parents and teachers
- Concentration in class increased and children began to participate in learning more
- Children had a stronger sense of self and had increased in confidence
- Those children who struggled with behaviours and were at risk of exclusion made significant improvement.

Transition/ resolution in play themes
We monitor outcomes every 6/7 weeks and produce a written review offering both the data and specific qualitative information about a childs progress. These can be used at multiagency meetings and other relevant assessment meetings. They can also be used to evidence our outcomes.
