Have your say and help shape future physical activity campaigns!

Sport England, working with evaluation partner Walnut, is seeking feedback from people working across the sport, healthcare, charity and government sectors who play a role in supporting, influencing or encouraging people to be physically active.

The survey will explore awareness, perceptions and the impact of the This Girl Can and We Are Undefeatable campaigns, helping to identify what is supporting organisations to encourage physical activity and where further support may be needed.

It takes just 15 minutes to complete.

Safeguarding concerns aren’t always obvious.

Sometimes it might simply be a change in someone’s behaviour, something they say in passing, or a situation that just doesn’t feel quite right.

As a group exercise instructor, you don’t need to investigate or have all the answers. But knowing what to notice, how to respond and when to raise a concern can make a real difference.

How confident would you feel knowing what to do?

Let us know in the comments 👇

Throughout November, we’ll be taking a closer look at safeguarding in group exercise, including the role instructors can play in helping to create safer environments for everyone.

Stay tuned.
