We support teachers, support staff and young people through high-quality professional development, equipping them with the skills to promote physical and mental wellbeing, build resilience and inspire young people. By connecting schools with local communities, sports organisations, NGB’s and health partners, CPD helps create a coordinated system where everyone works together to provide inclusive, enriching opportunities. Through this approach, we tackle inequality, strengthen networks and work towards every child having a positive experience within sport and physical activity.
