The aim of the strategy is to deliver positive mental health for all people operating in the high performance system, for athletes as well as senior leaders, coaches, practitioners and administrators.</del></p><p> </p><ins class="ministerial">The government’s sport strategy “Sporting Future” highlighted the importance of focusing on groups that are particularly unlikely to take part in sport and physical activity, such as women and girls. It is vital we build on successes like the performance of England at the Women’s Rugby World Cup in 2017 to inspire more girls and women to get involved in sport.</ins> <ins class="ministerial">Sport England, government’s arm’s length body for community sport, is funding both the Rugby Football Union (RFU) and Rugby Football League (RFL) to build capacity and encourage participation. Both of these national governing bodies have also partnered with Sport England’s “This Girl Can” campaign, to encourage more women and girls to get involved with their sports. Government is also supporting the staging and legacy of the 2021 Rugby League World Cup, which will be hosted by England and will bring together the women’s, men’s and wheelchair tournaments for the first time. </ins><p> </p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 24/07/2018 10:31:28 question first ministerially corrected 24/07/2018 11:34:08 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch previous answer version 71640 answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

We need to help these people reskill where necessary and re-enter into employment. The Union Learning Fund operates mostly through larger employers within unionised parts of the economy and is not designed to help those out of work – only <del class="ministerial">11%</del> <ins class="ministerial">2% </ins>of people supported via the Union Learning Fund are unemployed.</p><p>The decision to no longer support the Union Learning Fund after 31 March 2021 was taken as part of the wider Spending Review discussions and in light of our expanded commitment to skills development through the £2.5 million National Skills Fund, and Lifetime Skills Guarantee. This national fund will support individuals to get the training and qualifications they need wherever they are located and regardless of whether they are able to access the Unionlearn network.</p><p>As part of this expanded commitment, I can confirm all the money will be invested in skills and retraining that will be accessible to all.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Chichester answering member printed Gillian Keegan question first answered 26/11/2020 11:47:56 question first ministerially corrected 02/12/2020 16:01:29 answering member 4680 label Biography information for Gillian Keegan previous answer version 64103 answering member constituency Chichester answering member printed Gillian Keegan answering member 4680 label Biography information for Gillian Keegan
