Description

This week we're talking 'risky play', or the idea that kids should have more freedom while playing. Why are kids less adventurous than they once were, why are parents more concerned about kids safety, and how much does the design of our cities have to do with this? To discuss this, Jenni is joined by Auckland Council's 'play advocate', Jacqueline Collins.
