Better Facilities

BETTER FACILITIES

The aim of this Framework is to provide a structure for the development of Better Facilities within the county of Surrey. The Framework will help support the delivery of as well as underpinning delivery of key targets of Children and Young People's Plan for Surrey (Surrey Children and Young People's Strategic Partnership, Outline for Consultation, 2006).

The Framework seeks to ensure that the rights of children and young people are valued and central to the delivery of activity. Whilst acknowledging current areas of good practice within the County, it recognises that there are still significant steps to be made to ensure that all children and young people have the opportunity to participate in fun activities in a safe and protective environment.

This framework outlines where Surrey aims to be with regards to facilities by 2009. It has the following underlying aspirations:

To promote high quality sporting environments as being a standard in Surrey sport
To increase the range of facilities for sport and recreation
To increase the number of sports participants from under-represented groups
To increase the number of people participating in sports and physical activity by 1% year on year.

The Framework highlights the need for all partners to play their part in its delivery and work together to challenge expectations and raise the threshold of quality for local activity provision.
