Risk and Play

So far as we are aware, no negligence claims have been lodged against play providers for inducing boredom in children, or for limiting the scope of their imaginations, or for unreasonably denying them access to acceptable levels of risk in their play provision. This should strike us as odd.

Children and young people need opportunities to engage in beneficial risk-taking within acceptable levels of risk. But what does this mean in practice? Our work across a range of services helps to answer that question.
