Sport 21 2003 – 2007: The National Strategy for Sport – Shaping Scotland’s Future

What are the Sport 21 objectives?The strategy sets 11 targets to be achieved by 2007. These targets support an overarching goal for 60% of adult Scots to take part in sport at least once a week by 2020. The 11 targets are:

1 80% of primary schoolchildren to be physically active. 2 To make progress towards all schoolchildren taking part in at least two hours of high

quality physical education classes a week.3 85% of those aged 13-17 to be taking part in sport, in addition to the school curriculum, more than once a week. 4 49% of those aged 14 plus in Social Inclusion Partnership areas to be taking part in

sport at least once a week. 5 55% of those aged 17-24 to be taking part in sport more than twice a week. 6 43% of those aged 45-64 to be taking part in sport at least once a week. 7 To have had over 250 Scots being medallists on the world stage. 8 To have over 500 sports halls available to the public so as to ensure that 70% of the

Scottish population have access to a hall within 20 minutes walk. 9 To have over one million of the Scottish population playing sport in membership of

clubs. 10 To sustain 150,000 volunteers in their contribution to the development and delivery

of Scottish sport. 11 Every local authority’s community planning process to have contributed to the targets of Sport 21 2003-2007.

• Monifieth High School.• Carnoustie Panmure.• Monikie Country Park.

Others

Angus Health Walks (AC, SNH, Paths for All, AET, SET)

• Developing pathways and cycle ways in Angus – in and around burgh towns, the glens.

• Developing rural access

Current Situation………Sportscotland• Active SchoolsActive Schools

- a key element of the SE’s drive to get more Scots more active. The strategic objectives of sportscotland’s commitment to Active Schools are to:….enable all local authorities to effectively deliver Active Schools ….Provide guidance and assistance with the recruitment, training and induction of enthusiastic professionals and volunteers. …….Invest in tools and resources and strengthen links with a wider partnership network at national and local level (e.g. leisure, health, education, transport, community and voluntary sector).

THE BIG LOTTERY FUND (Formerly NOF)• Out of School HoursOut of School Hours (OSHA) Programme

Two officers initiate and develop sports and physical activity programmes in the community. Both work in close collaboration with colleagues in schools, voluntary sector agencies, sports clubs and the wider community.

• Active Steps ProgrammeActive Steps ProgrammeA multi-agency strategy introduced to address youth justice issues. The main strategy aims to reduce offending and substance misuse as well welfare issues. Young people are provided with opportunities (mainly leisure and sport) designed to improve the quality of their lives which in turn will enable them to contribute to the local community

Current Situation………..

• Exercise on Referral• Cardiac Rehabilitation programme• Angus Health Walks• Scotland’s Health at Work• Young Peoples Units, family Support• Active Transport Plans• Schools – Formal PE Programme & intra- extra curricular activities…….• Activity programmes in leisure facilities, country parks, play areas, etc……

The Future…………

Sustainability• Facilities – demand outstripping supply• Ageing of existing facilities• BLF funding for staffing is for three years – finishes in 5 months time• Monitoring & Evaluation - developing an accurate Angus-wide database of

information so that resources could be better targeted.• Supporting and developing the voluntary sector

Opportunities• Improving partnerships• Health for All !• Co-ordination of strategies

Physical activity can have a significant positive effect on the health of the individual, and cumulatively, on the health of the nation.

A more preventative approach.

Ensuring higher levels of physical activity across all generations is a major factor in preventing ill health and creating vibrant communities that are safer to live in and to bring up future generations

 The main goal of this strategy therefore is to help improve the health and well-being of those who reside in Angus.

OutcomesBenefits will include

•Behavioural change in peoples attitude towards physical activity and recognise its importance in maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

•A reduction in illnesses associated with obesity such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, respiratory difficulties, joint/back problems and mental health

•offering an alternative or partial alternative to normal medicinal treatment(s). Thus helping to reduce existing pressures on local primary health care services and potentially, on hospital waiting lists.

Outcomes

•A reduction in crime and anti-social behaviour.

•The development of vibrant, local economies.

•Developing multi agency partnerships with other major organisations, local planning groups and community groups to reduce health inequalities.

•Giving empowerment to local communities.

RecommendationsLocal LevelIt is recommended that Angus Council and NHS Tayside together make a commitment to raising the profile of physical activity by: Recommendation 1This report should be considered by appropriate Angus Council and NHS Tayside Committees with a view to supporting the ethos of the report and making a commitment to the recommendations therein. Recommendation 2Create a strategy group that will have a specific remit to produce a business plan and provide an annual progress report.

Recommendation 3

Take the identified gaps highlighted in the strategy document into account in their planning of future provision.

Recommendation 4Ensure that an integrated approach be taken to ensure that the various local strategies are linked to one another thereby maximising use of resources. 

RecommendationsRecommendation 5Adopt a “spend to save” approach to this issue.e.g. programme development, staffing arrangements, workforce development, physical infrastructure and voluntary sector training. Recommendation 6Undertake a public campaign, with incentives, to promote and develop participation levels in physical activity for people of all ages. Recommendation 7Utilise the strategy in the process of making sound funding bids. Recommendation 8Examine the possibility of Outcome Agreements being negotiated between the Scottish Executive and Council/Community Planning Partnership (CCP).The CPP is in a position best to assess what is appropriate for their community in the context of the powerful messages in the “Challenge” document on this issue from the Scottish Executive. The CPP should be able to seek funding from a “spend to save” budget, in order to achieve specific outcomes which demonstrably contribute to the national vision.

RecommendationsRecommendation 9The report be submitted to the Community Planning Partnership in Angus for consideration should in the context of the Joint Health Improvement Plan for the area; Recommendation 10

The Community Planning Partnership should be invited to formulate and cost an action plan based on the gaps identified in this report, bearing in mind the approach to Ministers about Outcome Agreements. Recommendation 11Attention should be given to consulting people at local level on the recommendations of this report, and what they consider to be particular priorities in their communities.

Recommendations

At a Tayside-wide Level Recommendation 12The three Councils and NHS Tayside should continue to work closely together to ensure cross-boundary liaison/ learning from good practice. Recommendation 13In this connection, the Best Value Review Team representing Angus Council and NHS Tayside in Angus should continue in existence as a Liaison Group, meeting as appropriate, to discuss progress and good practice.

Implications for practice….

• Physical activity behaviour influenced by many factors

• Young people face many changes (physical, psychological, social and environmental) especially during period of pubertal and school transition

• Young people respond differently to the challenges these changes bring

• Need holistic approach to working with children and young people

• Need partnership approaches involving schools, parents and community groups
