We will continue to conduct post-installation and annual inspections of playgrounds during the current situation with COVID-19.
We appreciate that playgrounds are now closed to members of the public, but it is essential that new works are properly signed off so that construction sites can be left in a safe manner. It is also essential that playgrounds are inspected to ensure the continued safety of users, given that reasonable misuse is to be expected by children and others even during this difficult time.
We will continue to work, whilst maintaining proper social distancing and hygiene measures to ensure suitable levels of safety on the nation’s playgrounds.
