PLT Conference
Our hope is that LDAs will be able to offer all PLTs the opportunity to attend a conference/workshop during the period November 08 to March 09. This might be a single county event, or a number of smaller events. Whatever the case, the funding available to support this will be on a “per PLT basis”, i.e. if you have 300 PLTs in your Local Authority area, you will receive £x X 300 for your programme. We fully accept that logistics might not permit every PLT to attend an event, but the funding available will not reduce if you do not get full attendance.
You will shortly be receiving a letter which outlines the full detail of the PLT Conference format, and the level of funding that is available for these.
The exact programme for these events will rest with LDAs to design, but YST would like to have a three-hour section of the day (preferably the morning) to deliver the following:
• A presentation overview of the current national picture with PE and School Sport; an introduction to, and overview of the new PE and Sport Strategy for Young people (incorporating the 5 hour offer) and the role of PLTs in supporting the delivery of this. This will include a DVD presentation.
• The “Self Review” workshop, (Workshop 1) from the suite of revamped PLT modules.
In addition, we will provide a CD ROM including resources for all Six other new PLT modules, so that LDAs could offer the opportunity to deliver one or more of these during the remainder of the day, if desired. YST can support with facilitation of these workshops (including workshop 1), or you might prefer to deliver this yourselves.
If a “conference” format is not possible in your area, please make contact with your YST Development Manager, and we will do our best to support any alternative delivery methods that you might have
