Strategy for Change

• In the 'Strategy for Change' document PE Sport
  has been allocated its own policy section. LAs
  are requested to demonstrate how their BSF
  proposal will contribute to school sport PSA
  targets and the PESSYP Strategy
• The document also outlines the requirement for
  local authorities to consult with SE, YST and
  NGBs to embrace community as well as curriculum
  sporting needs. This consultation will be
  achieved through the development of a Sports
  Stakeholder Group within each LA.
• The Sports Advisors within PfS whose main purpose
  is to raise the profile of PE School
  Community Sport in BSF and to promote the
  strategic development of community sports
  facilities across an area.

6
Our Objectives and Challenges

• CSPs to work with partners to co-ordinate
  sports engagement with local authorities to
  secure community access to school sports
  facilities.
• Design and technical advice ensuring what is
  being proposed is fit for purpose in line with SE
  NGB plans
• Maximise sports development benefits related to
  new facility investment e.g. 5 hour delivery,
  developing school-club links, coaching
  programmes, achievement of PESSYP targets etc.
• Qs how engaged is your sport, and how best can
  the Forum and CSP ensure representation on
  emerging Sports Stakeholder groups

BSF in Sussex

• Brighton Hove Readiness to Deliver document
  submitted (CSP on Stakeholder Group)
• East Sussex CC - Readiness to Deliver document
  due to be submitted 31 July 2009. Based on this,
  a decision will be made as to whether or not ESCC
  enters the programme in either January or April
  2010.  ESCC believe April is more realistic so
  they envisage their PE, school and community
  sport Stakeholder Group being established
  towards the end of November/beg of December
