Task

Create an action plan

This activity may be carried out by an individual or a group. If the event is organised by a group, the group will need to put in place a group action plan that clearly identifies the role of each individual involved. Note: This action plan is not assessed, but is necessary to ensure completion of the activity.

As an events manager, you have been approached by a local council to run an event for the people of your community to participate in physical activity in an outdoor setting. Note: In this context, to assist others means supporting others or providing opportunities for others to take part in physical activity.

You will need to define an overall aim and a plan of action that targets participants and provides a reason for the event.

For example:

·       outdoor physical training sessions in a local park for adults wanting to improve their fitness

·       a school holiday programme

·       a 5km fun run/walk.

Gather evidence to ensure that your aim reflects the needs of the target participants and that the selected activities will be suitable for them.

Design a plan for gathering feedback from the participants about the activity and their participation, for example prepare a short question sheet that they fill in at the end of the sessions.

Consider strategies for supporting the participants’ physical, emotional/mental and cultural safety during the event.

Planning individual roles and action plans

Note: This will be done by each individual if the event is being organised by a group.

Identify your own role and clearly explain how it contributes to the (group’s) desired outcome and the group/event.

Prepare an action plan that includes consideration for the following:

·       needs of the participants in the event

·       chosen overall aim

·       the aim of your role (which overall should contribute to and complement the group’s aim if you are working in a group)

·       possible barriers that could hinder the achievement of the aim of your role and how you will overcome these barriers

·       possible enablers (human and non-human resources) that could help you achieve the aim of your role

·       actions you need to take to achieve the aim of your role. Include details of when you will need to complete each action 

·       how your actions will assist in achieving the overall aim and in meeting the needs of the participants.

Action and evidence

Complete your individually-planned actions.

Write a description of what you did in your role:

·       include the date and describe the event

·       identify your role and describe the specific actions you took in this role. If cameras or camcorders are available, the event could be photographed or filmed

·       identify and explain actions that were successful and not so successful

·       explain how these actions assisted the participants to take part in the physical activity

·       explain how you were responsive to the participants’ needs and assisted the overall aim to be achieved.

You may quote from organised feedback and refer to relevant photographs or video clips, if that type of evidence has been gathered.
