Health & safety - bouncy castles

With the weather getting a bit better and people starting to think about outdoor activities again, this guidance from the HSE gives practical tips on how to safely set up and use bouncy castles.

There was a high profile prosecution in 2018 following the death of a 7 year old Summer Grant in 2016 when the bouncy castle she was using was blown from its moorings.

The HSE guidance is directed at anyone hiring or providing a bouncy castle at any event, whether private or public.

Hirers and operators must follow more detailed guidance.
