At Policy-UK #womeninsport18 event with #thisgirlcan being celebrated

.@ruthholdaway says there needs to be greater urgency about improving gender equality in sport. #womeninsport18 Policy-UK

.Women in Sport research found that the drop off in participation in sport is around age 7. Policy-UK #womeninsport18

“Girls tend to consider the trade off between school work and sport more than boys at secondary school age.” #womeninsport18 Policy-UK

Thought provoking morning at the #womeninsport18 Forum hosted by Policy-UK - shocked to hear that girls are dropping out of sport from age 7. We must do more to ensure that barriers are removed and that girls see sport as a level playing field without exception.

Really interesting start to @PolicyUk #WomenInSport18 forum. Great keynote by Ruth Holdaway MBE looking at the future of women’s sport. At 7 years old, girls begin to drop out of #sport - we need to address & change this

Thank you to all our speakers today at the #MentalHealthAtWork event! Many ideas on how to incorporate #mentalhealth into work environment

Mark Rowland from MentalHealthFound. talking about the importance of environment to #mentalhealthatwork .Policy-UK (It's very important).

What are the organisational triggers to poor mental health?

Also a nice demonstration that you don't need PowerPoint to give a good talk

@willsmithard from ukactive speaking about the importance of physical activity to health - both physical and mental.

Remember...Motion is Lotion!

Rachel Dakin Business in the Community Policy-UK Kind of encouraging in a way that half of people would be comfortable talking to their LM about #MentalHealthAtWork but yes more definitely needs to be done!

Have we reached a tipping point in #mentalhealth ? Business in the Community believes so, but much more needs to be done. Policy-UK #MentalHealthAtWork
