The Kids CEO Forum saw the announcement of major reforms to the governance of ukactive Kids as it continues to evolve and grow.<\/p>\n
The ukactive Kids Board will be renamed the ukactive Kids Council, with 11 new members nominated from a broad spectrum of backgrounds.<\/p>\n
Top educationalist Adrian Packer, CEO of CORE Education Trust, takes over the reins from longstanding Chair Dean Horridge, founder and CEO of Fit for Sport.<\/p>\n
New positions have been created to reflect key areas of the agenda over the coming years, including safeguarding and children\u2019s health.<\/p>\n
The ukactive Kids Council is designed to represent the views of ukactive members in shaping the future of children\u2019s health in the UK.<\/p>\n
Kids Council Chair Adrian Packer said: \u201cWith the new Kids Council in place, ukactive Kids is perfectly placed to lead the sector on its plans to improve the lives of millions of children across the UK.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuilding on the excellent work of the Kids Board, the Council will take forward plans to drive children\u2019s physical activity up the national agenda and to tackle threats which pose further damage to Generation Inactive.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the skillsets and expertise available on the Council, combined with the support and input of ukactive members, we can change the conversation to one which focuses on healthy hearts and minds rather than waistlines, hope rather than fear.\u201d<\/p>\n
Outgoing Chair Dean Horridge said: \u201cIt\u2019s been an honour and a pleasure to serve as Chair of the ukactive Kids Board for the past three years.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have never witnessed a more urgent health crisis than the one we face today for our children, a fact made clear by our ground-breaking report Generation Inactive.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have made sure the eyes and ears of policymakers and children\u2019s activity providers are firmly on the challenge ahead and I\u2019m sure that with the continued support of ukactive members, the new Council will be a leading voice on the changes our society needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
