The campaign against smacking has gained another supporter as the Green Party has joined the Children are Unbeatable! Alliance to end corporal punishment of children in Britain. Emily McIvor, the party's children's issues spokeswoman, has taught children with emotional and behavioural difficulties. She called the current law on child protection, which dates back to 1860, 'unacceptable' and said that parents should not be prosecuted 'for trivial smacks'. She added, 'In the countries that have banned child punishment, all the evidence suggests that reform works. Parents use positive discipline methods, which reduces stress and improves the relationship between parents and children.'

Playwork training and qualifications are underpinned by essential values and assumptions. The first assumption is that: 'Children's play is freely chosen, personally directed behaviour, motivated from within; through play, the child explores the world and their relationship with it, elaborating all the while a flexible range of responses to challenges they encounter; by playing, the child learns and develops as an individual.' The second assumption is: 'Whereas children play without encouragement or help, adults can, through the provision of an appropriate human and physical environment, significantly enhance opportunities for the child to play creatively and thus develop through play.'
