Managing Risk in Play Provision
This statement by the Play Safety Forum is written for those involved
in play provision. It addresses the balance between the benefit
and the need for children to play against the duty of play providers
to provide safe play opportunities for children.

Playgrounds - risks, benefits, and choices
by Professor David J Ball, Middlesex University, published by the
Health and Safety Executive, Contract
Research Report 426/2002, April 2002.
"This report describes the first detailed strategic risk assessment
of outdoor playgrounds in the UK for over a decade. It also reviews
international research on risk factors. In summary, the risk of
injury on UK playgrounds is found to be modest compared with the
risks of many other activities in which children are encouraged,
for accepted reasons, to participate."
