Why is risk important in children’s play? *

How can we protect children’s right to play and protect children at the same time? *

What is risk-benefit assessment and how can it help - rather than hinder - adults who work where children play?

‘The Busker’s Guide to Risk’ explores why risk shouldn’t be a four letter word when it comes to children’s play. It starts from the right of children to play in a way that involves not only physical, but also social and emotional risk, and supports adults in developing a practical approach to balancing the need to protect children with the benefits of play.
