This course is aimed at those who are responsible for the routine (daily/weekly) and operational (monthly/quarterly) inspections of school play areas. It focuses on equipment typically found within school playgrounds, rather than the sort of equipment found more generally in publicly accessible playgrounds. It is ideal for anyone responsible for managing, inspecting and maintaining school play areas.
