When the Alliance launched our Why have we failed our children? research back in July, we didn’t want to re-invent the wheel, nor pretend that we have all the answers.
We highlighted one primary recommendation: We must establish the fundamental right of a child to be active.
This research was the first step in our journey towards establishing this fundamental right and our next step had to be turning this recommendation into very specific, tangible action.
We have now launched a petition which sits at the heart of the #RightToBeActive campaign, and we will be asking you, your family, friends and colleagues, to support our four calls to government:
We are just beginning to scratch the surface of the inactivity crisis, and we ask that you join us, and organisations across the sector, in getting behind this campaign.
We are determined to ask the difficult questions necessary to create meaningful, long-term change and must all take urgent action now to make sure that we don't continue to fail our children.
Show your support for #RightToBeActive online and sign the petition here.
