No Fear" joins the increasingly vigorous debate about the role & nature of childhood in the UK. Over the past 30 years activities that previous generations of children enjoyed without a second thought have been relabelled as troubling or dangerous & the adults who permit them branded as irresponsible. " No Fear" argues that childhood is being undermined by the growth of risk aversion & its intrusion into every aspect of childrens lives. This restricts childrens play limits their freedom of movement corrodes their relationships with adults & constrains their exploration of physical social & virtual worlds. Focusing on the crucial years of childhood between the ages of 5 & 11
- from the start of statutory schooling to the onset of adolescence
- " No Fear" examines some of the key issues with regard to childrens safety: playground design & legislation antisocial behaviour bullying child protection the fear of strangers & online risks. It offers insights into the roles of parents teachers carers the media safety agencies & the Government & exposes the contradictions inherent in current attitudes & policies revealing how risk-averse behaviour ironically can damage & endanger childrens lives. In conclusion " No Fear" advocates a philosophy of resilience that will help counter risk aversion & strike a better balance between protecting children from genuine threats & giving them rich challenging opportunities through which to learn & grow."
