Is your school playground safe? How do you know? An estimated 40,000 children under the age of 15 in the UK visit A&E annually due to playground-related injuries. While many injuries occur in public parks, a significant portion happens in school settings. According to RoSPA*, major contributing factors to accidents include poor equipment maintenance, and unsafe surfacing beneath equipment. Daily use of playground equipment and harsh weather can quickly turn small maintenance issues into serious safety risks. Regular inspections help schools identify hazards early, reduce accidents, and support safeguarding responsibilities. The School Playground Company Inspection and Maintenance packages start from just £229 per year and include essential maintenance and minor repair works at no additional cost.
