In this document is the Playcentre Equipment List that describes what is required as the mandatory minimum standard for a good basic play session.
Also included is the Watch Out list (pages 39-43). You have heard lots about the equipment you should have in Playcentre, but what about the things that are not suitable? This is a list of inappropriate or potentially harmful items with information on why these need close supervision, or indeed withdrawal from the Centre. It has been compiled as a result of ongoing discussions between Equipment Convenors from throughout the country, at Regional and National meetings. The 1995 National meeting merged the “Watch Out” list and the “Inappropriate Equipment “lists into this revised “Watch Out” listing.

If you do amend these clauses they will need to be carefully considered by legal advisors and Charities to ensure they meet the necessary requirements.
In order to adopt these rules it would be expected that a large majority of your centre members are in favour, and that they are formally adopted at a centre meeting.
