KIDSAFE SA RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING DESIGN CONSIDERAT­IONS FOR PLAYSPACES:

-

• Accessibil­ity – able to be used by all students

• Areas for Free Play – running and games

• Agility and challenge items – equipment doesn’t have to be high. Keeping items low to the ground will negate the requiremen­ts for impact areas and certified surfacing.

• Nature Play – natural play settings positively influence children’s behaviour and their developmen­t in regards to mental health, social and emotional relationsh­ips and provide stimulatin­g, sensory experience­s.
