How has the Welsh Government made active lifestyles more accessible for children and young people?
Our schools and settings have a key role to play in making active lifestyles more accessible for children and young people.
The mandatory Health and Well-being Area within the Curriculum for Wales can help learners to understand the factors that affect physical health and well-being. It also recognises that good health and well-being are important to enable successful learning; this includes emotional and mental well-being.
Additional guidance for schools on the Daily Active approach will be available this autumn. It will include advice on how to incorporate physical activity across the curriculum and make playtimes more active as well as promoting active travel to school and delivering after-school activities and sports.
Our Healthy Weight Healthy Wales strategy includes a range of actions to enable and encourage more active lifestyles.
