At @PolicyUK #womeninsport18 event with #thisgirlcan being celebrated

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

.@Womeninsport_uk research found that the drop off in participation in sport is around age 7. @PolicyUK #womeninsport18

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

Thought provoking morning at the #womeninsport18 Forum hosted by @PolicyUK - 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 @RuthHoldaway 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
