Early Years Physical Activity Survey

Posted on by

 

The joint Public Health Agency and local Health & Social Care Trusts Physical Activity Forum would like to invite professionals and practitioners delivering early years services in Northern Ireland to complete a survey to determine the level of awareness and knowledge of the UK Chief Medical Officer (CMO) physical activity guidelines.

We know, professionals and practitioners working in this field are key to promoting physical activity within this population and we are keen to hear your views on how best to support our early years population in being active.

The survey will help identify training needs and contribute to the development of further training materials and resources which can support you to promote physical activity within early years.

This piece of research is being conducted by the Health Intelligence Unit, within the Public Health Agency. Participation is voluntary, your responses are anonymous and strictly confidential, and will only be seen by the research team.

We would really appreciate you taking the time to participate in this survey. It should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete.

Closing Date: Friday 6th October 2023.
