Offering risk to children has benefits to their growth and development and makes for an

exhilirating program but what is the difference between a risk and hazard? This webinar

will provide you with a re-imagining of risk in play.

Learning Outcomes:

•  Define risk and hazard and compare and contrast
•  Re-think the affordance of freedom and discuss examples of how this human need can be safely nurtured in centre-based care and family day care
• Develop risk assessments that clearly display hazards and minimisations and draw attention to risk benefits
• Design risk taking opportunities using physical and emotional risk taking examples
• Rehearse and discuss ways of advocating for risk taking using documentation and partnerships with families.

Quality Areas:

QA 1 Educational program and practice

QA 2 Children’s health and safety
