Rus Smith discusses how to make school facilities more accessible for community programs like StreetGames. Some key barriers include policies, costs, and security. It is best to start by contacting the PE department to show how programs can help meet Ofsted standards for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. StreetGames can provide new experiences for disadvantaged students and help PE departments meet outcomes through leadership programs and non-traditional sports. The document provides an overview of talking to teachers and linking community programs to school priorities and student benefits.
