The pedagogical history of adventure, risk and challenge
Health, wellbeing and keeping safe
The adult role
Risk assessment
Supporting individual children with different needs
Environments that enable challenging and adventurous play
Working with parents and addressing concerns
Observation, planning and assessment
This book is essential reading for practitioners and students that wish to provide rich experiences for children that will enable them to become confident and adventurous learners.
