The document discusses balancing risk management with allowing children to learn through play that involves an element of risk. It advocates avoiding an overly strict "deficit model" of eliminating all risk, which can undermine children's development. Instead, it promotes a balanced approach where the real risks are managed, learning opportunities are fully experienced, and common sense is not squeezed out. Staff should understand their roles and be supported and competent to assess risk, rather than relying only on copious paperwork. Involving children, parents, and staff in discussing risks can help achieve common goals of health, happiness and resilience for children.

This presentation will raise awareness of the connections between the health of young children and a healthy school environment, with emphasis on the benefits of exposure to the outdoors. It will show how these benefits can be strengthened through collaboration, including the efforts of the No Child Left Inside Coalition.
Nature deficit has had profound impacts on our children’s mental and physical health. Over the past 20 years, time spent playing outdoors has been cut in half, but the childhood obesity rate has more than doubled and the adolescent obesity rate has tripled.
National Wildlife Federation (NWF) created the Be Out There movement to give back to American children what they don’t even know they have lost: their connection to the natural world. In the process, NWF aims to help reverse alarming health trends and help families raise happier, healthier children. Signs everywhere show the spirit of the movement taking hold.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

“Deficit Model” of risk
The goal is zero harm or risk.
More words, more rules, more
protection and more control = must
be safer.
You cannot argue with ‘safer’.
We squeeze out common sense

4. 4Learning Through Landscapes | www.ltl.org.uk 4
We must not lose sight of the important
developmental role of play for children in the
pursuit of the unachievable goal of absolute safety.
Health and Safety Executive, 2013
5. What risks (and therefore
incidents of harm) are
socially and legally
acceptable?
5Learning Through Landscapes | www.ltl.org.uk
9. Learning Through Landscapes | www.ltl.org.uk
Striking the right balance
A focus on the real risks
Those running trips understand their
roles, are supported, and are
competent to lead or take part in
them;
The real risks are managed during a
trip
Learning opportunities are
experienced to the full
9
10. Striking the right balance is NOT:
every aspect is set out in copious
paperwork that acts as a security
blanket for those organising the
trip;
detailed risk assessment and
recording procedures aimed at
higher-risk adventure activities are
used when planning lower-risk
school trips;
mistakes and accidents will not
happen; and
all risks must be eliminated.
10Learning Through Landscapes | www.ltl.org.uk
11. Becoming “Routine and expected”
Move to annualised permissions and
risk assessments
Have a process for annualised staff
updates
A focus on staff skills and judgement

“Trips, falls and collisions.”
“Trips, falls or collisions

Parents’ observed behaviours are in stark
contrast to their expressed wishes for their
children's play opportunities and
experiences.
Sandester, 2011

16. Staff involvement
How do concerns or issues get
shared?
All staff have a time to re-read and
discuss risk assessments
Opportunity to look at data for real
risks and incidents
Is this Safeguarding?

17. Staff training
“The results also show that men who work
in [early years] have a more positive
attitude towards thrilling and risky play
than women, and they also allow more of
this type of play among children”
Sandseter, 2011

18. What about when it goes wrong?
Will your staff share?
Do we look for learning?
What does the data tell us about the
REAL risks?
A concern or complaint is not a veto.
“A culture of reasonableness”

19. Involving children
What opportunities for children to

Risk management skills?
Emotional and social response
to risk and challenge?

20. Just words (pupil version)
“Stop! Come down,
that is too high!”

“Take care!”
“What is your next

Or
“How are you taking

26. “Young people are curious, and they learn quickly. We
should not deny them the opportunity to learn by taking
risks.
Seeking to protect them from every conceivable hazard,
rather than sensibly managing the genuine risks they
face, ultimately leaves them in harm's way, not to
mention robbing them of memories that last a lifetime”
