Inspection & Maintenance of Playgrounds & Recreational Areas
Understand the importance of maintaining a suitably safe environment for children
If you manage a playground or own public play equipment, you’ll understand the importance of maintaining a safe environment for children. An independent inspector should perform an annual inspection, but the responsibility for routine and operational checks, as well as repairs and maintenance, rests with you. Managing these tasks takes time, involves extensive paperwork, and can be challenging, particularly when overseeing multiple play areas. Now there’s a better way of managing your inspection regime: SaferPlay.

What is SaferPlay?
SaferPlay is designed for anyone responsible for public play equipment, whether it’s free-to-use playgrounds or pay-to-play areas like soft play centres.
The British and European standards require regular inspections beyond the annual check-up, so we developed SaferPlay to support ongoing safety management.
Accessible via any browser and via an iPad app, SaferPlay is a software platform that allows you and your colleagues to manage the safety of your play equipment.
In fact, RoSPA’s own inspectors also use SaferPlay for annual inspections, recording findings and generating comprehensive reports for our clients.
Discover SaferPlay?
SaferPlay enables you to handle routine and operational checks in between your annual, independent inspection.
With a personalised dashboard, SaferPlay highlights areas needing inspection and consolidates reports and recommendations in one place.
During each inspection, findings are recorded through the app and synchronised to your dashboard, so you and your team have immediate access to up-to-date inspection information.
