Section 1: The School Games What is the vision? The School Games will continue to make a clear and meaningful difference to the lives of even more children and young people. What is the mission? Putting physical activity and competitive sport at the heart of schools and providing more young people with the opportunity to compete and achieve their personal best. Who delivers and funds the School Games The School Games, which is funded by Sport England National Lottery funding and delivered by the Youth Sport Trust, is a government led programme designed to deliver opportunities for all young people to be active, have fun and engage in competitions. A network of School Games Organisers (SGOs) and Active Partnerships have worked alongside the Youth Sport Trust in delivering three distinct levels of competition since the Games' inception in 2010 - ranging from intra - inter school activity. SGOs are funded by the Department of Health and Social Care and the National Lottery through Sport England to deliver the School Games programme for three days a week. They are predominantly hosted by schools to whom the funding is paid. Active Partnerships funded by Sport England work with the SGO’s to help deliver county provision. 3|Page

schools to prioritise the delivery of 60 active minutes as an entitlement for every
child to support improvements in their physical, emotional and social wellbeing.

the motivation, competence and confidence of young people and has clear
intent – targeting young people who need the intervention most (particularly but
not exclusively those from Low socio economic backgrounds, minority ethnic
groups, SEND, Girls)
3. To have a clear focus on transition points (Yr.3 and Yr.7/8) – continuing the
focus on secondary schools but recognising the impact in early KS2.

young people - through delivering inclusive high-quality leadership and
volunteering opportunities

meaningful difference of the School Games – participation in physical activity and
competition will impact on young people’s physical, emotional and social wellbeing
creating lifelong habits
Lancashire priorities for 2021/22

recovery from the pandemic, and using the school games as an opportunity to
provide relevant, fun and developmental opportunities which are relevant for
young people.
This includes a focus on:

opportunities for girls to be active through physical and mindfulness
activities.

aim to provide fun experiences, and develop skills to help young people get
ready for Secondary school.

faced during the past 18 months. We are offering more opportunities
throughout the year at our festivals for young people at Special Schools or in
mainstream schools.

children to work as a team and achieve personal bests.

Safeguarding policy
Whilst safeguarding young people and vulnerable adults is of paramount
importance for Active Lancashire and the School Games organisers, it resolutely
affirms that the welfare and safety of children, young people and vulnerable
adults is the responsibility of everyone that is involved within sport, whether
their role is as a coach, official, volunteer, team manager, teacher sports
development officer, chief leisure officer, parent, participant, or guest.
The SPAR Lancashire School Games recognises that in the first instance schools
should follow their own school policy regarding the safeguarding and protection
of children. However, if school policies are not sufficiently robust, fit for
purpose or adequately understood, the Active Lancashire have developed a
School Games Event Welfare Plan, which provides guidelines and procedures
that should be followed at each event, should an incident or accident occur.
The Event Welfare Plan has been formulated in order to help safeguard and
protect children and young people competing in the Lancashire School Games
Festivals. There are a number of welfare points that all schools should adhere
to whilst at the event, which are:
Guidelines for use of video or close range photography:
Consent:
It is essential that consent is sought by schools from participant’s parents to
make sure that children can be filmed / photographed at the event and the
images published afterwards. If the school does not have consent for images to
be taken of some individual pupils it is the school representative’s
responsibility to ensure that they are not photographed or videoed.
Active Lancashire recognises the practical difficulty for School Staff/ Teachers/
Team Managers to “Ensure that any children that do not have written consent
for their photographic images to be taken are not photographed or videoed.”
To assist with this, issue the Event Welfare Officer (EWO) has requested that
each School Team Manager (or SGO, if they wish to collate) should inform her
of any participant who does not have written consent for their photographic
images to be taken as early as possible on the day of the events. The team
manager will then collect pink wristbands at the registration desk for young
people and children.
Individuals who do not have consent for their photo to be taken will be issued a
wrist band so they are easily identified by the press and professional
photographers.
ACTIVE LANCASHIRE will not allow photographers unsupervised access to child
athletes or one-to- one photo sessions during the event.
22 | P a g eCamera Registration: Staff intending to take photographs or video at the event will be expected to register their camera or devices at the Registration Desk at the Event Information Point if they wish to use photographic equipment (please note that this also applies to camera and video phones). They will then be issued with a sticker to wear, which they must display at all times to show that their camera has been registered. The details concerning photographic/video and filming equipment registration may be announced over the public address system. The recommended wording is: ‘In line with recommendations of the Lancashire School Games Events Welfare Plan’, Active Lancashire requests that any person wishing to engage in any video, or still photography should register their details with staff at the Camera Registration Desk (at location) before carrying out such photography. The organisers reserve the right of entry and reserves the right to decline entry to any person unable to meet or abide by the event organiser’s conditions.’ If anyone has concerns regarding inappropriate or intrusive photography, they should be reported to the Event Welfare Officer and recorded in a child protection manner. As we have professional photographers and filming taking place on the day, we only expect the teaching staff and support staff who bring their teams to event to take photos. We are encouraging parents and visitors not to take photos! All images taken by our professional photographer will be available after the event on the lancashireschoolgames.co.uk website 23 | P a g e

Greener Games We are committed to making sure the SPAR Lancashire School Games are greener, and will continue to make improvements to the way we do things.

We have procured eco friendlier bottles as part of the SPAR goody bags the participants receive. The Spirit of the Games The SPAR Lancashire School Games are underpinned by the Spirit of the Games Values. These values hope to get all competitors, volunteers and organisers thinking about their attitudes and behaviours. The Values are: We will be recognising individuals and schools who showcase these throughout the day. Awards will be presented to those who epitomise the values of the games. 26 | P a g e
