Following the announcement towards the end of 2007 by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport that he wished to see a more focused role for Sport England in the future, Jennie Price, the Chief Executive, wrote to a wide range of sporting stakeholders on 2nd January 2008 seeking their views on the future direction of Sport England’s Strategy for 2008-2011.

Although their views were invited on the general direction of the future work “without restriction”, stakeholders were invited to focus their views around a number of key questions:

• Is there an overarching purpose for Sport England that would mirror the “4th in the medal table” and the “85% of children doing 2 hours PE in schools” targets of our two landscape partners?
  
• What organisations should be eligible for Sport England investment and how should it be allocated?
  
• What outcomes should investment into NGBs deliver and what kind of targets would be reasonable?
  
• What sort of relationship should Sport England seek to establish and build upon with local authorities?
  
• What quality measures can be used around clubs, coaches and volunteers in addition to quantitative measures?

The summary analysis that follows in this report is structured around these questions, although the wider views of stakeholders are also included in the first section, particularly around achieving clarity of purpose, ensuring there is a clear focus for Sport England’s work, and comments on the ‘structure’ of the sporting sector in he future.
