Tim Gill

Global Advocate For Children’s Outdoor Play And Mobility

A Churchill Fellow with degrees from Oxford and London Universities, and an honorary doctorate from Edge Hill University, Tim is a former director of the Children’s Play Council (now Play England).

Tim has just published his new book ‘Urban Playground: How Child-Friendly Planning and Design Can Save Cities’ and we are very excited to read it!

He is also the author of ‘No Fear: Growing Up in a Risk-Averse Society’ which the New York Times called “a handbook for the movement for freer, riskier play.”

Tim will talk about his new book about risk and outdoor play with children. He'll talk about how educators and play workers, can take a balanced and thoughtful approach to public play.
