Playgrounds for children

According to the World Health Organisation, child injuries are the leading cause of child mortality. The most common injuries are related to inadequate playground or indoor equipment: broken, poorly anchored, of poor quality, or structurally defective. Safe play and leisure environments can reduce injuries to children from external factors by up to 30%.

Children’s playgrounds must have safe surfaces.
All equipment must be safe, secure and at a safe distance, appropriate to the age, height and needs of the children;
New playground equipment must have a certificate of conformity.
