This program will explore recreational standards within the industry. The difference between the "standard of care" and the "standard of practice" will be reviewed. The definition of a "standard" from the standpoint of the industry will be shared with the audience. The presenter will explore the types of playgrounds, athletics, physical education and recreation with regard to appropriate standards. Actual cases from the presenter's experience from over 300 cases will be utilized. Lastly, the presenter will examine how to support a case without the benefit of a published industry standard.
