It looks like we are moving out of the "lockdown" phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, and we sincerely hope that everyone in the sector can now
look forward and make plans for the future.
At the height of lockdown in 2020, you may remember that CIMSPA launched ReActivate, the Covid-19 Awareness training platform? More than
22,000 people used ReActivate, and a survey found that 93% felt an increased level of confidence about returning to their roles after
completing the training.
However, the survey also identified a number of areas in which future support was needed:
|
•
|
Awareness of the prevalence, impact and treatment of long Covid
|
|
•
|
Engaging effectively with inactive adults with no pre-existing health conditions
|
|
•
|
Communicating with customers, especially those who may be lacking the confidence to return to physical activity
|
|
•
|
Awareness of the aspects of ageing that can be controlled or influenced through physical activity
|
To help address these needs, CIMSPA have just launched ReEngage - a free digital platform, designed to follow on from ReActivate and
provide the sector's workforce with the skills and knowledge to confidently engage with people across all communities, helping them to access
the benefits of sport and physical activity.
ReEngage is free for anyone working in sport, physical activity, leisure and fitness in England, including coaches and
volunteers, and you don't need to have completed ReActivate training to sign up for ReEngage.
There is also a ReEngage employer platform, which is open to leisure and fitness employers, large community organisations and national
governing bodies.
Whatever your role, the free online training has been designed to help you develop the skills and knowledge to confidently engage with
customers and communities.
