Staying Safe at Play

  • You have a right to rest and to play, and protected from things that could harm you
  • You should feel safe whilst enjoying your free time when you are playing out or in an organised activity
  • If something has happened to make a place where you go feel unsafe, you can take action to change things

Things like litter and rubbish, dogs, other children and young people, broken or unsuitable equipment, and some adults can make the places where you go to spend your free time unsafe. If you feel uncomfortable or threatened you may not relax properly and enjoy the time you have to play or be with friends.
