The Cape York Institute submitted a letter to the Inquiry into Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder advocating for firm measures to prevent this condition in Cape York communities. It recommends a family development strategy to address social norms around alcohol consumption and provide intensive support for at-risk women before, during, and after pregnancy. It also calls for integrating prevention efforts with other strategies around employment, health, education and housing. In some cases where social norms have severely deteriorated, more stringent prevention measures may be needed like conditional income management linked to support services. Any response must enhance existing services, avoid creating new siloed programs, and build family and community capacity through a holistic and proactive approach.

Customer Experience (CX) Design involves understanding a customer's entire journey interacting with a brand from search to purchase to support. CX Design is important because consumer behaviors are changing rapidly with new technologies, and customers now expect positive experiences at every touchpoint. Research shows the majority of purchasing decisions are influenced by how customers feel they are being treated. However, a study found that only 18% of companies provided a good customer experience in 2016, the lowest rating in years. Effective CX strategies put the customer first, understand their needs and expectations, create seamless experiences across all channels, and continuously measure feedback to improve the customer experience. Excellent CX Design can help brands build loyal customers who become brand ambassadors.

The strategy identifies six priority areas to guide Council in meeting community needs and increasing health and wellbeing. Priority 1 is quality facilities, with actions to review existing facilities and infrastructure and improve their quality.

The fitness and wellness industry should lead community-based interventions to address physical inactivity for three main reasons:
1) Fitness centers already have the resources like facilities, staff, and exercise programs to deliver interventions targeting thousands of people simultaneously.
2) Involving inactive community members could help increase customer retention rates and attract new members, providing financial benefits for the industry.
3) Most countries already have plans to address inactivity, and fitness centers are well-positioned to support and expand the impact of these plans through their established infrastructure and capacity for physical activity promotion.

The document provides an overview of physical activity policy and what the government is doing to address physical activity challenges in the UK. It notes that:
1) Around two-thirds of men and half of women meet national physical activity guidelines, while only around 20% of children and 10% of very young children meet recommendations.
2) The government is working across several departments and with organizations to implement strategies and initiatives to increase physical activity levels among adults and children through supporting health professionals, schools, and active travel policies.
3) Recent strategies published include the new Sport Strategy and an upcoming Walking and Cycling Investment Strategy to coordinate efforts around physical activity promotion.

Top tips
• Speak to local professional sports
clubs to identify the scope for
collaboration.
• Focus on building partnerships –
identify common goals and what
each partner can contribute.
• One-off events do not tend to
have much impact, so look at
longer-term planning and
initiatives.
• Ensure there is clear signposting
for those who need follow-up
tests or support, or want further
information.
• Establish a sub-group or network
of the health and wellbeing board
to plan and coordinate activities.
• Use evidence from joint strategic
needs assessments to support
commissioner cases for including
sport initiatives in joint health
and wellbeing strategies.
• Evaluate and follow up all projects.
• Play a full part in the NHS Sport
and Physical Activity Challenge.
This Briefing highlights the benefits of sport in improving the nation’s
physical and mental wellbeing and aims to support NHS providers,
commissioners and those with public health responsibilities to harness
the opportunities provided by sport to improve the health of local
populations.
The proven advantages of increased physical activity on physical and
mental wellbeing makes the sports-health nexus a crucial area for the
new NHS to tap into. The influence and ability of sporting personalities
and clubs to reach under-engaged groups in society provide a valuable
opportunity the NHS cannot afford to miss.
This Briefing outlines how NHS can build mutually beneficial
relationships with sports bodies, both to promote sport as a way to
physical and mental wellbeing, and to use the expertise, profile and
attraction of sports clubs to reach greater numbers of people more
effectively. It sets out some of the benefits that collaboration with
sport can bring, and includes key lessons and case studies others can
use to inform their plans. It also emphasises the value of the NHS
Sport and Health Programme – a national initiative run by the
NHS Confederation.
What is ‘sport’?
“All forms of physical activity which, through casual or organised
participation, aim at expressing or improving physical fitness and mental
wellbeing, forming social relationships or obtaining results in competition
at all levels.”
European Sports Charter
NHS Sport and HealthFebruary 2013 Issue 1
2. Improving physical and mental
wellbeing is a priority for members
of the new health and wellbeing
boards, including local authorities,
clinical commissioning groups and
local Healthwatch. In addition, the
importance of meeting this
objective to fulfil the NHS Mandate
means the health benefits of sport
and the vast opportunities
presented by sporting organisations
must now take centre stage.
The benefits of health,
wellbeing and physical
activity
It is hoped that the lasting legacy of
the London Olympic and
Paralympic Games will be an
increased uptake in people
engaging in sport and other forms
of physical recreation. This in turn
will help combat health issues
caused by increasingly sedentary
lifestyles and rising rates of obesity.
Such lifestyles present risks of
long-term health problems, both
directly, through the increase in
Type II diabetes, hypertension,
raised levels of problematic
cholesterol, fat-related cancers and
dementia, and indirectly, through
reducing social contact and
heightened levels of stress,
depression and poor mental health.
Achieving a healthier lifestyle is
a significant side effect of
participation in sport. It makes
it easier to maintain a healthy
weight, reduce the risks of
inactivity and improve mental and
physical wellbeing. It also provides
a sense of purpose, widens social
contact and gives additional
structure to daily lives.

An unrivalled opportunity
Organised sport plays a significant
role in British society. For spectators
and players, sport has wide-ranging
appeal and reaches and engages
people from different backgrounds.
With a nation riding high on the
legacy of the 2012 Olympics and
Paralympics, sport provides an
unrivalled opportunity to make a
lasting difference to the nation’s
physical and mental wellbeing.

The role of sport
• Football has over 7 million adult
participants, in addition to
5 million participants in schools,
and over 500,000 volunteers.
• Rugby Union and Rugby League
have over 190,000 and 57,000
weekly participants respectively.
• Around 196,000 adults play
cricket at least once a week.
Angling has over 4 million
participants in the UK.
• Many people do not play a sport
but are part of a very large and
loyal fan base of clubs: the
Premier League reports annual
matchday attendances of over
13 million; the Football League
has over 4 million registered fans,
with a matchday attendance of
16.2 million and TV coverage of
28.7 million each year; 2 million
people attended Rugby League
Super League matches in 2012,
with 29 million viewers on TV.
“If a million more people across
the country played sport each
week, it would save the taxpayer
£22.5 billion in health and
associated costs.”

Realising the dividends of
sporting organisations
Sports clubs can use their
relationship with fans to attract
them to wellbeing-related
activities. There is emerging
recognition of the opportunities
sports create for targeting
previously under-engaged
groups. Sports clubs often have
attractive, iconic premises which
fans feel comfortable accessing,
and which can provide an ideal
location for delivering health
services. Sport clubs can also
often engage fans more easily
than statutory bodies. As such,
collaborations between health
and sports organisation offer
significant mutual benefits.
Over the last 20 years, there has
been recognition of the influence
sport can have in supporters'
behaviour. Most of the major
sporting stadia are situated within
the most deprived communities.
However, historically the
relationship has mostly been
one way with fans attending
matches and little effort made to
reach the local population. A
number of changes have emerged
with the stadia recognising their
responsibility to promote their
supporters’ health and safety,
such as smoking bans; alcohol
restrictions; availability of sun
screens; healthy eating
3. local health experts to uncover
unmet needs and a complementary
role for the club.
Many clubs have developed their
own local initiatives. The Tackling
Men’s Health programme with the
Leeds Rhinos saw specialist men’s
health nurses setting up store in
bars, cafes and entrance areas
before the matches started, to
undertake health checks with fans.
The club also ran a successful
weight loss group for men, where
retention levels and overall weight
loss were higher than the standard
programmes. Many of the
participants reported that they
had only joined because of the
connection with the club.
Approaches tailored to the needs,
preferences and behaviours of a
target group are more likely to be
effective. Many efforts to influence
men’s ill health are challenging
and activities delivered through
traditional channels often have
limited effect.
Within the English Premier
League, a three-year initiative saw
funding made available for 16
clubs to employ health trainers
who worked in the club stadia and
also in the community, to attract
young men into physical activity.
This group was selected as having
significant unmet health needs
while not engaging with local

opportunities; safety issues;
access issues and anti-vilification/
anti-discrimination policies.
Today, stadia that have a capacity
of over 10,000 have to comply
with the requirements for a safety
certificate, which include having
adequate medical and first aid
arrangements.
Some clubs, such as Millwall
Football Club, are transforming
their facilities beyond basic first
aid, with GPs and nursing staff
providing support to many
individuals who are either
identified as having problems
while at the game or prefer to use
the facilities over that of other
local providers.
Building links with
communities
Clubs have made greater efforts to
integrate with their communities.
Most have community
development officers who
undertake outreach work with
schools, youth work and other
local organisations. The larger
professional clubs have charitable
foundations or trusts whose focus
is on working with local
communities through schools,
clubs and community groups, and
the wider public.
Although much of this
engagement relates to increasing
participation in sport, there is a
major focus on promoting health
and wellbeing messages with
specific programmes on healthy
eating, being more active,
self-esteem, mental wellbeing
and avoiding the dangers of drugs
and knife crime. They also
advocate schemes in partnership
with bodies like Job Centre Plus
and specialist charities to support
the local unemployed or older
people who have become isolated.
In many cases, these initiatives
target those who may be
disengaged from mainstream
health promotion activities, but
who are attracted to initiatives
because they are being run by
their local sports club.
Most sports are taking action to
broaden their appeal and are
developing different forms of their
games to attract new participants.
In Rugby League, 'touch rugby' has
become a popular sport for people
whose anxiety about injury deters
them from the full contact game.
Within the Yorkshire and Humber
region, a Department of Health
sponsored touch rugby league
targeted those over 32 years old
and attracted over 1,000 players
in one season, for a minimal
investment. All of the participants
surveyed said they would like to
carry on playing the sport.
Meeting local needs
There are a number of ways in which
sports and clubs have developed
their role to reflect the public health
and wellbeing agenda. This is seen
at club and national level, either as a
response to campaigns, such as
Change 4 Life, or in response to
supporters’ needs, such as Premier
League Health and Rugby League
Cares/Sport Relief Mental Wellbeing
programme (see case studies on
pages 4 and 5). In both
programmes, clubs worked with

audiences sport engages with and
the contribution it makes to wider

Other initiatives have carefully
considered the needs of other
groups, including women’s health
and that of teenagers and young
adults (Sportivate). Many studies
focus on encouraging and
measuring changes in behaviour
and identifying what does and
does not work. Building on this,
the Scottish Premier League is
trialling a Football Fans in Training
(FFIT) initiative to assess the
effectiveness of an intervention
aimed at men to improve their
levels of physical activity and to
lose weight.
Benefits of working with
sports clubs
Building partnerships with clubs
enables health and wellbeing
boards to access a wide range of
benefits, skills and expertise,
including:
• services that are directly relevant
to promoting better public
health, such as healthy eating,
physical activity and mental
wellbeing, and working with
specific groups, including
younger and older people
• trained and qualified staff,
including nurses, dieticians,
physiotherapists and
psychologists
• public relations and
communications skills that can
contribute to campaigns and
initiatives; easy routes to
accessing large numbers of
people, including at matches,
when it is known when a large
crowd will be present, making
planning easier
• fans are interested in what the
clubs and players say and do
• locations, access and opening
hours of clubs mean it is easy
for locals to get to, which

Health and sport – a winning team
One of the largest academic studies of men’s health
in England found that Premier League football clubs
have a powerful effect on changing men's health,
especially those regarded as hard to reach and
whose lifestyle choices lead to a substantial burden
on NHS services.
Premier League Health, a £1.63 million three-year
programme, was a national men’s health promotion
initiative, engaging over 10,000 men. Sixteen clubs
were awarded funding to run programmes to meet
local needs, identified in conjunction with partner
agencies. The programmes were delivered by health
trainers, managers and health professionals who
received education and training in behavioural
change techniques and men’s health promotion.
The programme evaluation found that top-level
football clubs can encourage positive lifestyle changes
in working-age men and can deliver effective health
promotion campaigns. Three-quarters of men made
positive health changes through participating in
Premier League Health. These included:
• a quarter reducing harmful lifestyle
risk factors
• over 40 per cent improving their level of physical
activity
• a third moving to a healthier weight category
• 30 per cent reducing harmful levels of alcohol
consumption.
The study found that many participants had multiple
problematic lifestyle behaviours, and many did not
view themselves as having poor health. Over a third
never consulted their GP and over half never used
health advice and information services.
Case study: Premier League – promoting men’s health
Why did it work?
The study gave a major insight into the types of
intervention that work with this group.
• Combining the appeal of professional football
clubs with the opportunity to develop health in
a ‘male-friendly’ way represented a unique
opportunity for reaching men.
• Football-based awareness-raising events and
outreach activities were especially important for
reaching men who were ambivalent about orthodox
health-promotion activities.
• The informal approach of Premier League
Health staff and familiar settings such as stadia
were essential for encouraging regular
involvement in physical activity and lifestyle
sessions. Such surroundings were seen as
having substantial advantages over conventional
NHS locations.
• The interventions incorporated socially-
supportive environments that facilitated a
sense of belonging and a fun and enjoyable
atmosphere. For many men, this experience
supported maintaining newly-acquired
healthier behaviours.
The study outlined key lessons for practitioners
on how to assess needs, plan, implement and
evaluate gender-specific health interventions
implemented in and by football clubs. Central to
Premier League Health was engagement with
public bodies. Clubs communicated key health
messages to a wide audience through one-off
events and regular sessions to raise awareness
and signpost people to local services. In some
cases, the programme had wider benefits, for
instance on employment.
6. • health and wellbeing boards and
clubs could apply jointly for
funding, particularly as most
clubs have their own charitable
foundations.
In addition to increasing
participation in a sport, there
are many possibilities for
professional sports clubs to be
commissioned to act as
health-promoting organisations,
including delivering
health-related services and
initiatives. There are already many
successful examples.
Making change happen
One of the core commitments of
the NHS Responsibility Deal is to
increase levels of physical activity.
The Responsibility Deal Physical
Activity Network is being
established to help coordinate
action on the Olympic legacy.
The Behaviour Change Network
is tasked with identifying how
national expertise in behavioural
sciences can be harnessed to help
guide approaches to improving
public health.
The early work of both these
networks reinforces the benefits to
be had by engaging with sport as a
way of ‘nudging’ participants
towards health-enhancing
behaviour. This work will be
supported by the creation of the
National Centre of Excellence for
Sport and Exercise Medicine
(NCSEM).

Health and sport – a winning team
The NHS Sport and Physical
Activity Challenge is part of the
wider NHS Sport and Health
programme. It is specifically aimed
at improving the health and
wellbeing of NHS staff through
sport and physical activity. It is
led by NHS Confederation chief
executive, Mike Farrar, in his role
as the National NHS Sport and
Physical Activity Champion.
The NHS Sport and Physical Activity
Challenge was launched by Sir
David Nicholson in 2010. It aims
to use the power of the London
2012 Olympic and Paralympic
Games to engage NHS staff in sport
and physical activity and create a
lasting health and wellbeing legacy.
It particularly seeks to encourage
staff not currently engaged in sport
or physical activity to make a
change.
The challenge consists of a range
of sport and physical activity
programmes, from pedometer
challenges between
wards/departments, to the first
NHS 'funtriathlon' and 'NHS
olympics'. The scheme has created
partnerships nationally and locally
to support NHS organisations who
want to develop a programme as
part of their staff health and
wellbeing programme. Since its
inception, many NHS organisations
have gained their bronze, silver or
gold accreditation certificate in
recognition for the work they have
done and their success in delivering
on the challenge.
NHS organisations involved in the
NHS Sport and Physical Activity
Challenge report improved morale
and team working, as well as an
increase in positive responses to
staff surveys.
• Over 75 per cent of NHS
organisations in the north west
have developed sport and
physical activity programmes.
• 4,000 staff from Guy’s and
St Thomas’s NHS Trust clocked
up over 1 billion steps between
them and tried out 20 new
sports as well as raising over
£65,000 for local charities.
• NHS staff across Leeds clocked
up over 1 million active
minutes and hosted a number
of sporting events across NHS
organisations.
• East of England SHA has led a
staff health and wellbeing
programme across NHS
organisations and other local
businesses.
• In Somerset, the challenge
brought around £100,000 of
savings and improvements in
health, fitness, patient care,
morale and team work as a
result.
