Leisure Safety : Risk Education
RoSPA promotes the idea of as safe as necessary, not as safe as possible and places an emphasis on equipping people with the skills to ensure informed choices of behaviour. It is important that society becomes risk aware, not risk averse, and this begins with safety and risk education in schools. RoSPA Safety and Risk Education supports those who work with children and young people to promote safety.
LASER: Learning About Safety by Experiencing Risk Learning About Safety by Experiencing Risk (LASER) is a powerful interactive approach to safety education that takes place outside the classroom. Its purpose is to educate and enable children so that they can begin to take some care of themselves and others in their immediate community. LASER schemes do this by providing children with opportunities to learn about and practise personal life skills, encouraging them to recognise and deal with the challenges and opportunities they might encounter throughout life, including in the home, when travelling or doing leisure activities.
