Risky Play – Children’s rights and our responsibility

Description

Risky Play - Children’s rights and our responsibility

PRESENTED BY: LOUISE DORRAT

How do we get the balance right between protecting children from possible harm and providing environments that promote children's agency and risk-taking? Risky play promotes resilience, which is critical for children to self-regulate, make good decisions and negotiate the challenges in life. Instead of trying to eliminate all risk from children's play, it is crucial to understand that risky play can be acceptable where the benefit to children's learning outweighs the risks (NQS 2.1.3).

We will look at the National Regulations, the National Law, the National Quality Standard, and the approved frameworks related to providing children with environments that promote risk-taking while protecting children from harm and hazard during this webinar. Practical examples will be discussed using a risk matrix to assess the risks of experiences, regular outings, tools and equipment.
