Playing with risk: embracing the benefits with positive regulation - Save the date
Wednesday 27 January 10.00am – 3pm, Edinburgh
Keynote Speaker – Tim Gill (Co-author of Managing Risk in Play Provision)
with contributions from the Care Inspectorate, SOSCN, Play Scotland and others
Children and young people enjoy and benefit from challenging, adventurous play opportunities where they can test themselves and extend their abilities. Risk management in play contexts is different from workplace or factory contexts in one crucial respect - in play provision, a degree of risk is often beneficial, if not essential. Giving children the chance to encounter hazards and take risks provides other benefits, such as the chance to learn how to assess and manage these and similar risks for themselves. Hence accidents and injuries are not necessarily a sign of problems, because of the value of such experiences in children’s learning.
