Health and Safety Executive Statement on Play

Leave a comment

The Health and Safety Executive released this high level statement on the balance between play and risk in 2012.
This will give practitioners some reassurance about our responsibility to offer children challenging experiences which engage them in assessing and managing risk and keeping themselves and others safe.

We will soon publish our own North Lanarkshire Risk BENEFIT Assessments on our intranet- First Class . The revised Risk Benefit Assessments will clearly state the benefits of activities as well as the potential hazards and control measures.
