    I am currently studying Childcare (with special needs) and would be interested in the area of play specialism. Not sure what route I would have to take to become a Play Specialist. Would be very grateful to get any advice on this, thank you

    From my own research in the area (did a dissertation on it and met with a few fabulous play specialists in Crumlin Childrens Hospital) its not possible to train to be a PS in ROI, you can train in Belfast though (I think, although the course may not still be going ahead as I requested info on it when I couldn't see it on the website and they never responded). From what I've been told, it can only be studied in the UK and you need to have two years experience of working with children.

    Best of luck in your studies! It would be an amazing career, one which I haven't ruled out myself yet. Might be worth emailing the hospital in Crumlin and asking if you could meet with one of the play specialists. I found them so friendly and obliging.
