About the ALL Come Out To Play! project
ALL Come Out to Play! is a session that helps children learn about respectful relationships and equality. It is delivered with humour, dancing and fun for all! There are songs and games and lots of exciting toys to play with. It is good for people who are still learning English as well. The session encourages girls to be strong and confident and boys to seek help when they need it – it has a message of equality and respect for everyone.
What to expect – Participation! Participation! Participation! The fun-filled session runs for approximately 40 minutes and is loads of fun for children and adults. The sessions are very interactive and inclusive. We encourage dialogue between the children/presenter/parents/carers as different topics and themes arise and are explored. We encourage you to sit with your child and immerse yourself in the session too. The more involved you are, the more your child will engage and enjoy!

Professional Development – Gender Equality and Understanding the Link to Preventing Family Violence
Gender equality? Why is it so important in the early years?
The ALL come out to play! team have put together a series of videos in a self paced format for both parents and early years professionals to do a ‘Deep Dive’ into why it is important for us to encourage gender equality in the raising of our children and in our practice.
This online training will give you an understanding of gender equality and its link to family violence as well as provide you with practical ideas that support gender equality in the early years with both children and parents.
