sun-safe school

create only the shade
you need

develop activity-based, educational projects

	Schools participating in the Australian Federal Government 'Building the Education Revolution (BER)' programme can ensure that their shade projects are successful by involving WebShade consultants in the early stages of planning and design. We are also able to project manage the construction of your shade structure and advise you on UV risks within activity areas and appropriate shade materials to use. Contact us to discuss your requirements. Recently CHOICE Article 1 - 12 December 2008 and Article 2 - 17 February 2009 analysed the shade fabric industry and revealed how frequently shade projects failed to deliver good outcomes. Teachers and parents want to provide healthy enjoyable and sun-safe educational environments. Outdoor facilities are an invaluable resource, and yet childhood sun exposure contributes to a lifetime risk of skin cancer. WebShade helps schools meet their legal duty to provide safe environments for the children in their care. The Shade Audit can be done by purchasing and using our shade planning software or you can contact WebShade accredited auditors and arrange for a WebShade Audit to be carried out for your facility.
