Completed petition Promote physical activity and health in Further Education colleges

We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to promote physical activity and health in Further Education colleges.

Supporting information: Physical Activity has the ability to enhance & maintain not only the physical attributes of an individual but their overall health & wellbeing. I believe FE Colleges need to have clear goals, targets to increase participation in physical activity & recreational sports through a well structured, inclusive and fun programme that unites, includes & adapts to the needs of the learners. The overall health of students can provide many benefits to the performance of not only the college but Wales as a whole. We do not only have a duty to promote physical activity, health & wellbeing but to actively seek involvement in programmes that will inspire our students to become healthier & more physically active.

I believe there is a wide gap and clear lack of promoting physical activity and health amongst colleges of FE. There needs to be a clear strategy and guidelines which colleges should have to meet. We have a duty to try and promote physical activity and health amongst our students to improve the general health of our nation.
