Physical Literacy Expert Panel

An ‘Expert Panel’ comprising of around 60 researchers and stakeholders (practitioners and professionals) are supporting the physical literacy consensus building work.

The expert panel have a broad range of expertise covering the health, education, early years, youth, and sport sectors, as well as disciplines such as psychology, physiology, human movement, physical activity, pedagogy, play and child development.

We want to utilise the expertise and experience of the panel members to join up thinking across people, organisations, and sectors within the system, developing a shared understanding of physical literacy.
