New guidance covers risks in outdoor play
www.grub4life.com today reports that the new guidance on outdoor play aims to dispel some popular myths about health and safety and risk. 19-06-2010
There have been many misconceptions about outdoor play, including worries over whether insurance companies will cover activities with an element of risk and a perceived need to undertake regular and lengthy risk assessments for outdoor activities.
The guidance, Go outdoors!, is published by the Scottish Institute for Residential Childcare and aimed at the carers of looked-after children. But it argues that it is vital that all children are given the chance to take risks as part of learning how to be safe.
It shows out that the latest strategy document published by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) says that leaders of organisations need to promote a 'common-sense, practical approach to health and safety,' and that the HSE does not require risk assessment forms to be completed for children and young people with regard to everyday outdoor activities.
