It is interesting to note how the Health and Safety Executive was able to
take a thought that could be succinctly expressed in two sentences and
turn
it into fifteen numbered paragraphs pages with two footnotes by spinning
out
variations and permutations on a simple theme. If it were set to music
the
composer would have to be Philip Glass

Subject: Sundials in playgrounds - at last, "the tide is turning" !
Following-on from previous correspondence, it actually seems that the UK
"Health and Safety Executive" have realised just how ridiculous it is for
schools to be 'banning' any outdoor activities - simply because there was
a
small element of risk involved, which might ultimately result in some
legal
action.
They have now issued a statement (see the attached PDF file), in an
attempt
to clarify this unfortunate situation - which was causing Analemmatic
playground layouts to be discouraged, both here in the UK and in other
countries such as Australia.
This might be of use to list-member Donald Christensen - whom I know is
active in this area, within the Australian system.
So it looks like "the tide might be turning", back to a more 'sensible'
approach to evaluating levels of risk to children, and as well as the
attached file there is further information at
