The Cumbria Workforce Development Framework and Delivery Principles have been developed in response to a culmination of significant directional change in strategy from Government and Sport England.
The Workforce Development Framework focusses on two fundamental priority areas to meet the complex, diverse and evolving needs of Cumbria’s population. These are:
• Partnerships - championing strong and effective partnerships
• People - developing people to support delivery of physical activity across our communities.
This is an inclusive framework to incorporate and support the work of any organisation or group that supports people’s ability to participate in physical activity at any level and ultimately lead healthy and active lives.
The delivery principles are split into Workforce, Activity & Organisation, centred around the acronym PEOPLE.
