FAQs
Does playground equipment need planning permission?
If you're planning on getting play equipment installed in your school or public place, then it is likely you'll need planning permission in order to have it installed. It will also have to comply with safety regulations and laws to ensure children are safe when playing.
Why should we have inclusive school playground equipment?
A playground that is inclusive is very important, as it allows children to learn and play together with their peers, helping them develop skills and creating strong friendships. For example, adding a swing set to your playground allows children to play on swings alongside each other, strengthening their social skills whilst also having fun. So, when designing your playground project, keep in mind the layout of the equipment, and if it promotes inclusion to help children's development.
How often should playground equipment be inspected?
The British and European safety standards urge that an inspection should be carried out at least once every year to ensure the equipment is safe, secure, and in good condition. We also recommend having inspections carried out quarterly, as you can never be too cautious when it comes to play equipment in an outdoor space.
