The Inclusive Health Check is a free, online self-assessment tool embedded within the School Games programme, funded by Sport England, Department of Health and Social Care and Department of Culture, Media and Sport, and endorsed by Department for Education. It helps schools reflect on whether their school sport and physical activity provision truly inclusive for pupils from underserved communities and across protected characteristic groups. By completing the inclusive health check at least annually, schools can track improvements in inclusive practice and generate measurable evidence to support internal development and external reporting. Sections can be revisited and updated at any time, providing flexibility for ongoing review. To complete the inclusive health check, schools are asked a series of questions to assess their inclusive practice which have been co-created with expertise organisations striving for equality including Women in Sport, Sporting Equals and Activity Alliance. After rating their confidence in supporting specific groups, schools receive tailored resource suggestions to create an action plan to guide next steps.
