Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what consultations her Department undertook with children and young people to (a) inform and (b) prepare the policy paper entitled Get Active: a strategy for the future of sport and physical activity.

The Youth Voice Advisory Group was set up to encourage young people to participate and engage with national policy. They were consulted to help inform and shape the focus of the ‘Get Active’ strategy. We intend to continue to engage with young people as we implement measures in Get Active, as we have done at a recent roundtable with the Youth Sport Trust and at the most recent meeting of the National Physical Activity Taskforce.
