This guide provides useful recommendations for promoting physical activity, active play and sports for pre-school and school-age children and young people in family, preschool, school and community settings.

The guidance is for all those who have a direct or indirect role in – and responsibility for – promoting physical activity for children and young people. This includes those working in the education, local authorities and the wider public, private, voluntary and community sectors. It will also be of interest to parents, grandparents and other carers (including professional carers), children and young people and other members of the public. It includes recommendations for schools.
