Abstract

Project aims:
The aim of this project was to better understand how the COVID-19 pandemic changed access to sport and physical activity for children and young people in Scotland. It aimed to understand what data was available, what this data could tell us about sport and children, and what recommendations could help promote future participation in sport in Scotland.

Project method:
This project used a multi-method approach including:
• A data audit identifying and analysing data sources in Scotland.
• A literature review on children’s access to sport.
• An original research programme that included:
– 6 focus groups with primary school children aged 5-12 years, using drawing, writing and storytelling to explore their experience. 1 focus group with young people.
– Online surveys with 39 young people and 49 parents and guardians
– Interviews with 22 organisations across national, regional and local levels.
