MOVE IT report - Increasing young people's participation in sport

The Young Foundation has published a new report looking at participation in sport and physical activity in England, focusing particularly on young people. The report looks at the physical activity levels, reasons why levels of participation are low and proposes a four-point action plan to get more people active.

• a youth-centred public policy
• co-ordinated delivery of sport
• leverage current funding streams and align new ones
• data tracking and accountability to make sport count.

The action plan suggests changing the sometimes complex way sport is organised, and a move away from sports policy embedded in supporting elite and competitive sports towards a more inclusive approach to getting the least active moving.
