Children have had to stay at home since December 20th with limited exercise or interaction with their friends and team mates. This has been a very challenging time with less opportunity to be outdoors during the winter months with physical and mental health being tested. Children have had a very difficult time during the Covid 19 lockdowns with their daily lives being severely disrupted. It’s imperative that alongside the return of pupils to face to face learning in schools that in addition Welsh Government prioritise children getting active again as soon as possible.
This petition is requesting Welsh Government address this issue at the next 3 weekly review on March 12th 2021.
Please announce a roadmap similar to England offering clear and obvious date/s for the return of children’s team sports in Wales.
