- To recognize the importance of providing unstructured and facilitated outside play opportunities when caring for children, and the skills required to achieve this objective.
- To discuss the learning and developmental opportunities that risky play provides for children, and how to best support this as an Early Years Provider (EYP).

This workshop is open to early years providers who are interested in learning more about outdoor play and risky play for children 0-5 years old, and who want to increase their capacity in this field.
