Supervision on the playground - one incident can impact the entire school

Playground supervision plays a critical role in keeping all kids safe at school.  Yet, only a small number of playground supervisors receive any training on their roles and responsibilities. It is not uncommon as a result of the lack of training injuries occur. But proactive supervision and planning can reduce the likelihood of an injury that results in the threat of a lawsuit because of inadequate playground supervision.

Courts don’t judge you by your intentions. They ask one simple question: What would a reasonably prudent organization or playground supervisor do?

The answer that changes everything: A reasonably prudent school doesn’t place untrained adults in charge of children’s safety.

When lawsuits are filed, attorneys subpoena your training records, hunting for evidence of “inadequate supervision.” Without documented training, you’ve likely handed them their case. Most negligence findings list inadequate supervision as a contributing factor.
