Risky Play

How to assess risk and do It anyway!

With service environments becoming smaller and the numbers of children rising, educators are finding it increasingly difficult to plan and implement effective programs to support ‘Risky Play’ and the child that wants and needs to run, jump, swing and bounce.

​

Through this program educators will be mentored and challenged to think outside the box on risky play ideas and embrace the risks that children are eager to take and explore.

​

Educators will be guided to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence in writing and managing risk assessments and encouraged to be bold but responsible in adapting an environment to follow the child’s lead through play.

Challenging behaviours decrease when children are stimulated, challenged and engaged
