New data from the Youth Sport Trust’s annual Girls Active Survey has found that girls with multiple characteristics of inequality are being left behind in PE and school sport. The survey reveals that girls with two or more characteristics of inequality, such as being from a low-income family, a non-majority ethnicity, or having Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), are significantly more likely to not be active every day, not feel confident doing physical activity and less likely to like PE than those without further characteristics of inequality.
A summary of the findings, together with recommednations, can be found on their website here.
