The education landscape is changing, and schools are being entrusted with more and more responsibilities. In the past local authorities would have provided essential resources for schools in their area, this is now more likely to be something schools need to budget for themselves.

The Association for Physical Education (afPE) have finished updating the new edition of Safe Practice in Physical Education and Sport. It is the only publication of its kind and it is a critical resource to keep schools up to date with the latest legislation and ensure they understand the risks and how to manage them properly. The handbook is essential reading for all those involved in physical education, physical activity and sport.

Numerous national bodies commend the publication to school staff, parents, and other adults working within an educational context. It is also extensively used by the legal profession, using interesting and relevant case law examples throughout.

The resource is split into user friendly sections for teaching, managing, and promoting the best health and safety practices into the different areas of the core curriculum subject. The handbook remains just as practical and retains the ever-popular section for applying principles into specific areas of activity.

As well as the chapters outlined above it includes a CD-ROM with even more ready-made forms, templates, risk assessments, and safety checklists, to help you implement the right structure, to support a safe and quality learning environment for students.

We are proud that afPE have appointed 1st4sport.com as the exclusive supplier for this resource, and urge you to remember the law protects careful teachers and coaches – is your school up to date with the latest health and safety legislation?
The 2012 edition will remain the same price (£44.99) as the 2008 edition, and bulk discounts are available.
