observations and transition reports to primary school. There are no harms arising from the purpose. 2. The involvement of parents/carers in the activities of the group and in the early education of their children is a direct benefit to the families with children registered in playgroup. This will be evidenced through membership of the committee and volunteering at fundraising and other events. There are no harms arising from the purpose.
