National Plan for Sport and Recreation
Possible questions include:
- The Government’s track record in encouraging more people to be physically active and whether current public funding structures are delivering money to the right places.
- The implications of the increase in people doing informal and individual exercise such as walking and attending gyms rather than taking part in organised sport.
- Whether the right skills and experience are in place among the sports and recreation workforce and how that workforce can be made more diverse.
- Whether existing sports governing bodies are fit for purpose and what more can be done to ensure they are more accountable for how they deliver their sports to the communities they serve.
