GLOSSARY |
Policies for sport are developed at a variety of scales. Policy principles and guidance are established at national level, and these interpreted at regional and local scales, in theory establishing connections both up and down the hierarchy through shared objectives, for example. There are also significant horizontal connections between the various families of policies, this principally being at the regional/sub-regional scale. For instance, there are evolving connections between cultural strategies and regional plans for sport, with a shared agenda of increasing the scale and vibrancy of community participation and ownership
The diagram above illustrates how various policy documents at national, regional/sub-regional and local scales sit with one another. There are three principal clusters of documents: those relating to the delivery of sport, those relating to spatial planning and a suite of complementary strategies which help deliver sport facilities and participation as an economic and community resource and aspiration.
