Recommendation 1
1
Accepted
Paragraph: 32
Existing programmes fail to address girls' health barriers or reverse declining PE enjoyment.
Conclusion
Girls face a number of distinctive health and physiology-related barriers to participation in, and enjoyment of, sport and physical activity, from early years to post-puberty. Existing programmes and interventions from the Government and other bodies, while welcome, do not yet go far enough in addressing these barriers and are yet to reverse alarming downward trends in girls’ enjoyment of PE. They also lack specific age group-related targets for participation in and enjoyment of PE and school sport.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government partially accepted the recommendation, committing to reviewing and releasing updated Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) statutory guidance, and conducting further work including a call for evidence to review PE delivery, but did not commit to setting specific age-group targets.
