Tim is in demand as a workshop leader and public speaker, and has given talks and run workshops across the UK and in Europe, North America, Australasia and Japan. Topics include:
- Risk aversion and childhood
- Taking a balanced approach to managing risk
- Creating more child-friendly communities
- Reconnecting children with nature
- Creating and sustaining playful spaces
- Why children’s play and free time matter
The Times Educational Supplement website has a video of a talk on risk and childhood Tim gave in 2007 at the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA). [Tim thinks his delivery has improved since then!]
