Provision of shade
The provision of shade in outdoor play areas is a key responsibility for
those responsible for playgrounds, particularly in the early childhood sector.
States
throughout Australia have a Cancer organization with resources delegated
to the promotion of Shade in Outdoor Play areas and it is strongly recommended
that contact be made with these agencies to receive appropriate information
and support.
