Adventurous guidance launched

Guidance promoting adventurous and challenging play experiences for children has been launched by the DCSF, Play England and the Play Safety Forum. Managing Risk in Play Provision follows the Playday 2008 research, which found that 77 per cent of children and young people aged seven to 16 would like more opportunities to take risks while playing. The guide shows how play providers can replace current risk assessment practice with an approach that takes into account the benefits of challenging play experiences. It is available at www.playengland.org.uk/resources or on 020 7843 6300.
