[Playwork team @LBUPlayworking]

@EllenBSandseter “It’s easy to count how many times children hurt themselves when engaging in Risky Play, however we cannot count how many times children have avoided hurting themselves due to becoming more confident in taking risk when given the opportunity” @IPAGlasgow2023

The drive to play freely is a basic biological drive. Lack of free play may not kill the physical body as with lack of air, food, or water, but it kills the spirit and stunts mental growth. ~ Peter Grey
