Mayer Hillman was on the Today programme this morning. Amazingly RoSPA have finally realised that protecting children from learning about risk management by removing all risk from their environment may not be a good thing. The piece was in the context of allowing playgrounds to be more risky but strayed into playing in the streets with controlled traffic so the risk are there to be learnt about without being life threatening. The RoSPA spokesman seemed to be in full agreement.
Maybe we need to clear a runway slot for Porcine Airlines after all!

How far in? I'd like to hear this but don't have time to listen to 3 hours' worth.
Thanks

Did Esther Ransen's program do any good?
We have a friend whose neighbour drove here kids under a mile in a 4x4 with Bull bars to a regular meeting about 'improved play ground safety'!)
It was impossible to explain to her the irony of her actions.
