answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2022 answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance of welfare and mental wellbeing for people participating in sport at all levels. An inclusive and professional sport and physical activity workforce is key to supporting people to be active. We want people taking part in sport and physical activity to have the best possible experience, which means that the workforce must be recruited, developed and supported in the right way.</p><p>Sport England, our arm’s length body for grassroots sport in England, funds a number of projects which aim to address knowledge and skills gaps of coaches in areas such as mental health. In 2019 they launched an e-learning course developed alongside Mind, UK Coaching and 1st4Sport which aims to help coaches and sport and physical activity providers increase their knowledge of mental health including how to support and engage people experiencing mental health problems. In 2020 Sport England also launched a duty of care toolkit with UK Coaching to equip coaches with the knowledge and skills to provide better coaching experiences and better look after themselves.</p><p>In recent years UK Sport, DCMS's arm's length body for elite sport, and the English Institute for Sport also have launched a programme of <a href="https://www.uksport.gov.uk/news/2019/05/13/mental-health-education" target="_blank">mental health education </a>to promote positive mental health amongst coaches and support staff and encourage them to develop self-care strategies.</p><p>We will continue to work with our arm’s length bodies, sports bodies, and sector partners to promote good coaching which benefits both participants and coaches.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 25/07/2022 08:18:46 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/02/2021 answer text <p>The government has published guidance to help businesses understand how to make workplaces Covid-secure and help tackle the spread of the virus. Adult Gaming Centres should follow the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/working-safely-during-coronavirus-covid-19/shops-and-branches" target="_blank">shops and branches </a> guidance in addition to Bacta’s specific guidance for <a href="https://bacta.org.uk/2021/01/17/bacta-re-opening-guidance-for-fecs-and-agcs-in-england-v5-0/" target="_blank">FECs and AGCs </a> to ensure they can operate as safely as possible when they are open.</p><p>The shops and branches workplace guidance was intended as guidance for those businesses on how they could operate safely when the regulations permitted them to do so after the first national lockdown and beyond. It does not have a direct bearing on the timing for reopening of the businesses included in the guidance.</p><p>As announced by the Prime Minister, we intend to publish our plan for taking the country out of lockdown in the last week of February. That plan will depend on the continued success of our vaccination programme, and on a sustained reduction in Covid-19 cases and hospitalisations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 16/02/2021 09:07:26 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
