## Resource

A six-year-old girl, Alice, suffered a skull fracture and brain bleed after hitting her head on a playground swing at Hicks Lodge in Leicestershire. Despite initial discharge, Alice was later transferred to another hospital for treatment. Her mother, Leanne Benton, launched a petition calling for changes in playground safety standards, following concerns about the design of straight-post cantilever swings. Forestry England, which manages the park, expressed concern and offered support to the family. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
