- play area (consider visability of children)
- skill (consider the skill level of children)
- age mix (consider when mixed ages are in one area)
- dynamics (consider personalities or children or children with additional needs)
- size of the group (consider supervision with small vs large group)
- level of risk involved (for example water play)
- exchanged information with colleagues. (for example gaining additional information from colleagues about individual children who need support or direction)
Example: Play area - High level of hands-on supervision was always required during the water play activity.

The space selected did provide for maximum supervision of children during the experiment.

- Describe the reporting procedures you had to follow as per workplace procedures and the National Regulations.
