Introduction
Playright believes in providing children with opportunities to engage in challenging and adventurous play, where they can encounter hazards and take risks. This approach is believed to contribute to their physical, emotional, and intellectual development. However, when it comes to developing and managing an open access play space, it is crucial to prevent unintentional injuries to children while still allowing for a certain degree of managed risk.
To effectively manage and assess risk and benefits in play spaces, Anne Marden Playright Academy (AMPA) has invited Mr. David Yealy, the Head of Play Safety at The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), to develop a workshop. Upcoming workshop will introduce the concept from "Managing Risk in Play Provision: Implementation Guide" and provide guidance to play providers on how to develop their own risk-benefit assessment practices with essential concepts and techniques.
This workshop aims to empower play providers to make informed decisions regarding risk and hazards while ensuring the safety and well-being of children in play spaces.
