Hi, welcome to silkysteps. This is about the benefit, value and dangers that you know risky play has and how you provide opportunities for children to experience, engage and watch risk that's been appropriately assessed. It's also asking how others are, or could be involved with the process of recognising and promoting acceptable levels of risk.

Consider how your setting is laid out, if you play inside, outside, if the weather has any bearing on that, what the age and stage of development your children or young people are at and the activities that happen in your setting.

Situations & equipment that could include risk - climbing frames, raised stepping logs, ladders and slides, stairs, ramps, ride on vehicles - scooters, skateboards, bikes, rope swings, using tools that have the potential to cause injury - woodworking, scissors, and cutlery knives. Messy play mediums such as water, sand, paint, glue, sawdust, soil, stones, role play props and games can all carry risk.

From the best play publication - PlayEngland
The importance of risk
Play is a key element in children learning to appreciate, assess and take calculated risks, which is fundamental to the development of confidence and abilities in childhood. Children seek out opportunities for risk-taking and it is the responsibility of play provision to respond with exciting and stimulating environments that balance risks appropriately.

There's also good reading on risk taking and holistic play in the book Characteristics of effective learning in early years - on amazon.co.uk it does however refer to England's superseded 2012 EYFS framework.

Managing risk in play provision on CAPT

If possible can you ask your course provider or tutor if they have any recommended reading & research for this?
