Blueprint for an Active Britain
UKactives Blueprint for an Active Britain calls for a single-minded focusing of resources energy and policy to turn the tide of physical inactivity It is one of the UKs greatest-ever social challenges At its heart the UKactive Blueprint lays the foundations for a stakeholder-supported government-led review of how and where physical activity can play a part in improving the nations well-being with practical policy recommendations across a range of areas
It reveals fresh data citing that 57 of MPs believe physical inactivity is one of the top two health issues facing the UK right now and that 79 of MPs feel that physical inactivity should be a higher priority for government

Children and Families - POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS

2 Activity and movement should once again become the norm for children and young people at school and beyond
3 Parents and families should be supported to develop active lifestyles from the earliest age
4 There is a perception rightly so in some cases that technology has contributed to the increasingly sedentary lifestyles of children However as recent developments in active software and hardware have shown rapidly emerging technology can also present a huge opportunity for rather than just a barrier to activity
Active Travel - POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
3 Government and local authorities should collaborate with schools workplaces the physical activity sector and technology providers to champion active commuting
