Topic
The participants in the 2018/19 programme have, so far, met up to decide on their topic for the year. They have decided on the following:
To explore the relationship young women have with sport and physical activity, with particular regard to issues that might prevent participation.
Terms of reference:
- To explore socio-economic, protected characteristics, intersectionality
- To look at provision in schools and how that influences attitude
- To look at societal pressures and external influences
- To find and share examples of good practice
