Unit 018 outcome 3.4
Demonstrate ways of encouraging children and young people to manage risk and challenge in play and leisure activities for themselves

I took the children outside into the playground to play on the climbing apparatus and use the large cars and scooters.
I firstly looked over all the equipment to make sure that there were no obvious dangers or unnecessary risks to the children such as stinging nettles, animal droppings or broken equipment.
Once checked any risks I found were unnecessary removed then I allow the children to come out and use the apparatus available to them.
