Risk Assessment

[ChinaEYFSguy]

Hi Everyone. I'm looking for something short and poignant regarding "risk assessment" as a type of learning and why it's so important to allow 'risky' behaviors. I'd write one, but I'm ridiculously tired.

BTW, update for everyone who has been following my strange tale...last fall I was made principal of my little school. There have been some changes but of course, I won't be satisfied. I'm not a perfectionist normally, but when it comes to quality education...I will remain in an unhappy state until my staff lives, learns and loves EYFS.

Congratulations on your promotion!

The PLA did a series of articles , one promoting 'risky play'

The benefits of risky play | Early Years Management | Teach Early Years


Hope thats the kind of thing youre looking for.

Thanks much. It's not quite what I'm looking for. What I need is a more basic explanation of risk assessment in play and why that's a good thing. The article you posted assumes the reader already knows that....they don't know that here.
