Rethinking Risk

Risk is a natural part of childhood and an important part of learning, but are we sometimes so focused on keeping children safe that we unintentionally limit their opportunities to explore, challenge themselves and develop confidence?
In this episode, we explore the difference between risk and hazards, the value of considering risk benefits alongside risk assessments and how our own experiences and confidence can influence the opportunities we give children. We also consider how Early Years teams can develop a shared understanding of appropriate risk, involve children in identifying hazards and create environments where children can safely test their abilities, make decisions and learn what they are capable of.
Supporting children to experience risk isn’t about letting them take risks and hoping for the best. It’s about understanding the risk, managing the environment, supporting the child and recognising the learning.
Rethinking Early Years - practical conversations for Early Years practitioners who want to reflect, question and rethink everyday practice.
