Hi

i wrote about the climbimg frame, how i supported children but didn't interfere e.g. helping when needed (maybe a small child) but standing back and letting them take risks (going down the slide backwards, head first etc when they were confident about completing the task) and the safety mats were in place. I put a copy of a Risk assessments that i had done to back the information up. I also did a scenario of a child wanting to go on the climbing frame with a superhero cape or a princess in a long gown and said how i could not minimise the risk of an accident occuring so i had to speak to the child and tell them that they could only do one or the other (due to the long cape maybe getting caught and them ending up hanging themselves)and also backed this up with if the child then protested i would speak to them about super heroes and how even they could get hurt, because a child sees the climbing frame as a princess castle with the princess on top or a superhero climbing a tall building.

Hope it helps and i've explained it right.

Lynne
