But here in this council play park, children are encouraged to experiment with risk aversion, to enjoy a wilder form of play and interaction with others - the opposite of online relations and over safe childhoods. From the chapter entitled 'Playing with Fire' from the book 'Risk Wise: Nine Everyday Adventures' by Polly Morland (Allianz, The School of Life, Profile Books, 2015).

  • A secure fence deters young children from entering and playing in the new (but as yet unused) playground in the experimental community village of Poundbury, Dorset, England. The new swings and mini-roundabout can be seen through the wire in the foreground while the safe surfaces of wood-chip ensures the little ones are protected from falls on to hard surfaces. Poundbury is the visionary model village that Charles, Prince of Wales sought to develop in 1993 as a successful and pioneering town near Dorchester, built on land owned by his own Duchy of Cornwall, challenging otherwise poor post-war trends in town planning and to some extent following the New Urbanism concept from the US except that the design influences are European.

  • Beneath a huge banner that hangs from the exterior wall of the Ikea store in Croydon, South London adults await their partners to emerge from their shopping expeditions by the childrens' playground where a climbing frame and wood-chip surface protects young bodies from injury. The poster's message is simple and clear: That their customers and especially children, are our most important assets - our responsibility to protect their safety and well-being. Strong corporate Ikea colours are dominant, their well-known yellow and blue are known throughout Europe as well as the added banner in red. The fonts are in block capitals and possibly easy for young readers too to understand.
