New 'Grow Me Safe' website for Kidsafe NSW
Kidsafe NSW recognises the importance of gardening with children to build life skills, inspire creativity, grow and harvest food, role model safe practices and a respect for nature.
‘Grow me Safely’ was developed to provide information for educators, parents and carers to engage children in gardening activities.
The information provided is supported by injury data and statistics. Gardening with children is promoted in the National Quality Framework for Education and Care Services, and the NSW Primary Syllabus.

Play for Life are recruiting...
Play for Life was established in 2010 and is founded on the critical role of lifelong play. We aim to ensure that play is part of all Australians’ lives, regardless of age, location or circumstance. Based on Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Play for Life’s vision is to advance the right of all children and young people to access free play and to see play valued and conserved in their lives as they grow into adulthood.
