Sport England is working with a number of universities and partners to develop a Physical Literacy Consensus statement for England – and they want to hear your views on the draft text.
The consensus statement aims to provide a shared understanding of physical literacy, including a definition and explanation of what physical literacy is, why it is important, and how it can be supported.
Over the last six months, an expert group, including members from Liverpool John Moores University, Coventry University, the University of Bradford and the University of Gloucestershire – all in the UK – have worked together to develop the statement.
They’re now inviting comments and feedback on the provisional consensus statement via a five-week national consultation, which is taking place between 9 January and 12 February.
Please click on the link below to complete the national consultation survey, which should only take a few minutes.
