What is Safety and Risk in Primary School Physical Education : a Guide for Teachers about?

<p>Physical education and sport in schools is undergoing renewed emphasis and the primary sector key stages are rightly seen as fundamental elements in the new initiatives.</p> <p>The majority of primary school teachers are non-specialists and there is, therefore, a particular need for information on safe planning and practice in physical education to be designed to meet their specific requirements.</p> <p>Safety is a central issue in P.E. and as risk assessment is now a statutory part of Health and Safety at Work requirements, it is vitally important that all staff have a clear understanding of their responsibilities. As all schools are now obliged to undertake risk management, this book addresses a very real need. <b>Safety and Risk in Primary Physical Education</b> gives a comprehensive coverage of all aspects of safety in P.E. in primary schools, including:</p> <p>* legal responsibilities<br> * policies on good practice and risk<br> * pupil readiness<br> * equipment and the environment<br> * each subject area included in the National Curriculum - gymnastics, games, dance, athletics, outdoor and adventurous activities and swimming<br> * checklists of key points for safe practice
