Category
Policy, Practice, Research, StatementAbout This Project
The Risky Play Position Statement for Young Australian Children has united professionals from medical, educational, and playground design disciplines representing government and not-for-profit sectors across Australia in providing an authoritative voice to advocate for risky play in children’s lives.
Risky play is an inherent and critical component of young children’s play; yet, within Australia, risky play is often missing from children’s lives. This Position Statement challenges the current Australian narrative around risky play and highlights a benefit-risk approach to risky play for all young children.
