NICE – Training and professional development on physical activity
General training and continuing professional development on physical activity.

Who should take action?

  • Education and training organisations.

What action should they take?

Establish continuing professional development (CPD) programmes for people involved in organising and running formal and informal physical activities. The education and training should enable them to:

  • give children and young people information and advice on physical activity, taking into account their needs (for example, their developmental age, physical ability and any medical conditions they may have)​
  • give children and young people confidence in their own abilities and motivate them to be physically active (this includes encouraging them to set goals, where appropriate)​
  • understand the practical issues and problems that may discourage families or groups of children and young people from getting involved. (This may include, for example, time constraints, access issues – including accessibility for those with a disability – and the cultural appropriateness of activities)​
  • develop and foster partnership working and get the local community involved.

Monitor and evaluate the impact of training on practitioner performance.

Train people to deliver physical activity CPD programmes.
