| This will impact on everyone....
With just 21 months to the Olympic Games the government are cutting all funding for the School Sport Partnerships.
Education secretary, Michael Gove points toward decreasing numbers of young people taking up Rugby Union, Hockey and Netball, as one of his reasons for the ridiculous decision to scrap all funding for the School Sport Partnerships. The man is clueless about the impact this will have, be prepared for the health of the nations children as well as sporting achievement to dramatically decline. Sad, sad times.
The Labour government made massive improvements to sport in general in this country, the current regime will live long to regret their decisions. I know many of you will not be fully aware of these cuts or their impact but this act will provide many answers for the decline on health and sports related issues in years to come. Some Olympic Legacy?! Id have labour back in tomorrow.
The current state of school sport is massively promising with a rise from 25% to 90% of children doing at least 2hrs PE a week in school, and the further impact on other areas like competition and volunteering and leadership for young people is huge.
As someone who will be made redundant due to the cuts i do want to preserve my career but moreso the huge opportunities children stand to lose. We are doing a national petetion as we hope everyone can make their voices heard.
contact your local SSP asap to register on their petition.

The wider benefits of sport and physical activity impact greatly on health (future burden on the NHS), childhood obesity, crime agendas, as well as sporting excellence. As someone who has been involved in sport development for the last 10 years i can tell you this will at some point have an impact on you.
Future questions about childhood obesity, crime figures and lack of achievement on the sports field will be attributed to these cuts.

That's twice you've told me that and still not answered why.
I'm very sorry you're losing your job. Genuinely. It's not nice for anybody to have to go through, but at the risk of getting into a political debate, we cannot possibly stop the over spending without making cuts somewhere along the line.
Everybody in every different governmental or sub-governmental department will have a reason why theirs shouldn't be the bit to get cut. Just like every charity would be able to argue why your £2 per month should go to them over the others. Unfortunately, whilst your personal plight is impacting you daily, it really isn't having as much of an impact on everybody else as you'd think. I genuinely am sorry that you're losing your job. Hand on heart. But we can't all help everyone all of the time.
All the best with your petition.

Pretty ignorant comment really.
The Olympic Legacy through the partnerships is to inspire children in sport and to be active for 2012 and beyond. The value of sport has a huge impact, see recent news articles (esp Observer last Sunday) where anger and support from health ministers and even members of the coalition reflect this.
This isnt just about a job.

Please reseach properly this information is misguided to say the least, over the last year an extra £1 million children took part in competitive school sport.
As an example a Badminton competition was set up nationally 5 years ago with just 300 competitors, through the School Sport Partnerships this figure is now 23 000 +, and this is just 1 sport. I am 1 of 225 competition managers accross the country.

Yes it is poor and not very good and will have a impact on several areas in future eg health nhs etc....
However the fact is massive cuts are being made and at this time funding for sports fits pretty low. Police numbers are being cut, nhs jobs being lost fire crew numbers being reduced all have a big impact on the hear and now and ssp must come below these in these times.
I may be wrong but I don't remember ssp etc when I was young but we were active, as is my child

| Seth...
Not that I'm an expert in this field (pardon the pun) but your opening line, all on a little line of its own to make a great big statement was...
Quote: Seth "This will impact on everyone....
'"
But you've then spent the next 3 posts pretending to be a policitian and not giving a straight answer to the question...
HOW??? There's 3 of us that have so far (at time of writing) contributed to your thread, and it seems very much (judging by Neil & Tad's reaction) that they couldn't give a sh[ii[/it either. (Sorry if that's not the case lads!). So basically, that's 3 people so far that don't think it will affect them. Currently 100% of the people who have felt the need to contribute, are unaffected by your personal plight, and yet you proudly boast...

Again... HOW?!

| Perhaps, with the significant numbers of Community Coaches the RFL have out there offering coaching in schools, this will work in RL's favour.
