Unit 08: Leisure and sport in the local community

QCA
About this unit

This unit addresses issues relating to the provision and use of public leisure facilities. It explores how decisions are made by a local community and the impact these have on different members of the local community. It examines the role and impact of law in the community and the duties of local authorities in respect of leisure provision and how issues of rights, responsibilities, fairness and the law interrelate. Pupils investigate some of the complex issues at play when making local provision of leisure and sport facilities. The unit also builds greater awareness of local authorities' responsibilities when deciding how to use public funds.

The unit builds on work carried out in key stage 2 relating to issues of right and wrong, rights, responsibilities and fairness. It further develops pupils' ability to analyse, think critically, and debate issues and problems and draws on their experience and work in PE.
