Learners need access to a range of sport and leisure
providers as well as information concerning current government policies on
sport and leisure.
Employer engagement and vocational contexts
Delivery of this unit will be enhanced by employer
engagement involving, for example, local sports and leisure providers.
Extending the learning environment to incorporate real-life experiences will
enable learners to develop personal learning and thinking skills and functional
skills in the workplace. Learners could, for example, meet with employers from
the local sports and/or leisure centre to learn about the growth and influence
of the sector. A talk by a representative of the local authority leisure
department would help learners’ understanding of the role of government and the
current issues effecting sport and leisure.
