Action Groups

A key objective of the School Sport and Activity Sector Partnership is to take collective action to tackle systemic challenges and themes in our sector.

Overview

Following sector consultation and identification of our priority system issues, we will be convening three action groups to drive our collective action around:

  1. Physical Literacy
  2. Workforce Development
  3. Youth Engagement

All three working groups will be underpinned by a consistent theme of tackling inequalities. Each action group will identify their scope, insight and actions, supported by the convenor and systems working specialists.
