The Education Show 2014
written by Chantelle Kelly December 3, 2013
As the Education Show continues to grow, it has been revealed in 2014 the Association of Play Industries (API) is to be an official supporter of the UK's leading education training and resources event.
Taking place from 20 to 22 March 2014 at the NEC Birmingham, the Education Show's vast array of seminars and workshops make it the most useful date in the calendar for the thousands of education professionals who annually attend, and is the perfect place to discover the latest resources for the learning environment. Among the highlights will be the National PTA Conference, a one day programme led by experts and stakeholders offering guidance to PTA members on a variety of key topics.
The API is the lead trade body within the play sector, representing the interests of the manufacturers, installers, designers and distributors of both outdoor and indoor play equipment and safety surfacing. Visitors to the show will be able to take advantage of the organisation's wealth of experience in supplying play provision and design, creating environments that deliver visible challenge and managing risk within safety standards.
Anita Pal, Education Show 2014 event director, comments: "We're delighted to be working with the API, one of the most well-respected trade bodies within the education sector. Active learning and play is now more important than ever in the development of young children, and having a supporter of this calibre on board will undoubtedly add even more value for visitors – especially those interested in learning more about sourcing the best play equipment and resources. It also provides an effective platform for the API itself to demonstrate its members' considerable expertise in designing and installing the safest and most interesting equipment for children to interact with."
API chair, Michael Hoenigmann, says: "With obesity and other child health and well-being problems rising, there has never been a more important time for schools to invest in active play. That's why the API is pleased to be supporting the Education Show. Our members provide high-quality, well-designed play spaces, resources, equipment and safety surfacing for schools and early years settings. The association's badge is a quality mark and there are clear advantages to choosing a member when specifying a play project. API members abide by a strict Professional Code of Conduct, operate to the highest standards and are rigorously monitored for financial stability. They provide evidence of recent previous work, case studies and references and offer added value such as stakeholder consultations, independent post-installation inspections and maintenance services. A free technical dispute mediation service is available to all clients buying from API members. They will be on hand to give expert advice and guidance to visitors looking for help with their play project."
