What is Recreational Health and Safety?

Recreational health and safety means being involved and participating in something you enjoy doing, being aware of safety considerations and staying healthy from head to toe. All of this provides opportunities to develop trust, responsibility, fairness, respect for others and experience in including others, which are qualities of a responsible citizen! When you participate responsibly and show respect for and empathy with others, you are modelling responsible citizenship. Looking after your health through physical activity also makes you a responsible citizen.
