Young People - Evaluation

 
 

Evaluation projects that the BHFNC is involved with in the area of the young people.

 

Active Club Resource Pack for Out of School Clubs

Phase 1 (2003/2004)

The BHFNC has produced an evaluation of phase 1 (2003/2004) of the regional Tutor Training days for promoting the use of the Active Club Pack.

Phase 2 (2004/2005)

The Phase 1 evaluation report highlighted  a number of key issues which were raised for consideration and addressed in the design and roll out of phase 2 regional tutor training. As a result, this was extended to a wider audience to include those working in the health and sports development sectors.

A second evaluation report was produced which  examined the effectiveness of these changes, not only at tutor level but also how they cascaded down to those receiving locally focussed Active Club Pack workshops.

The evaluation revealed that the wider dissemination of Active Club Pack was received very well and confirmed the relevance of ACP as a useful tool to improve the delivery of physical activity to children and young people

In order to establish the current situation and identify any potential development, a wider evaluation of Active Club Pack has recently been completed. The objectives of this evaluation were to;

  • Gain feedback on Active Club Pack and the associated training
  • Establish the impact that the above had within clubs
  • Identify any changes and developments needed in the Active Club Pack and/or training
  • Explore additional ideas and support that playworkers would like
  • Map the geographical spread of clubs and tutors involved in Active Clubs
  • Review current arrangements with tutors

Further to previous positive evaluations, the Active Club Pack continues to be regarded favourably and remains a relevant and attractive resource for those working in out of school physical activity provision.

Schools On the Move

A recent evaluation of the Schools On the Move pedometer pilot has recently been completed by staff at the London Sports Institute, Middlesex University. The project was deemed very successful among both pupils and teachers with pupil’s daily  step counts increasing steadily from an average of 8,355 steps at baseline to 16,436 at the end of the project. Additionally, there was evidence to suggest that the project was equally successful in increasing the activity levels of both low active and high active pupils as well as appealing to and increasing the activity levels of the more sedentary pupils.
