For the past 2 decades I have served as an expert witness on cases involving supervision, playground injuries, PE related injuries for preschool-12th grade. This webinar will provide tips for avoiding playground litigation and training your teachers to limit your school liability and of course, limiting the number of students injured in the school environment. Statistically over 200,000 children are injured each year on playgrounds. We will cover what steps you can take so your students aren’t a part of that national statistic.
This webinar will cover resources that will assist you in providing professional articles, forms, and training for your playground teachers and supervisors.
I will share with you what I’ve learned as a trial expert witness in playground injury cases over the past nearly 2 decades. Put simply, 40% of all injury cases on the playground have supervision as a contributing factor . Training is the key in reducing playground injuries.
Finally, I’ll provide you with professional articles written for administrators like Legal Issues Impacting Playground Injuries and how to determine if it is an accident (unavoidable) or injury (schools should have intervened.) You will receive an article for your teachers called, How to Discipline Children on the Playground and a free schoolwide behavior report for the playground.
