Learning Outcomes All of you will… • Discuss the characteristics of the private & voluntary sectors • Suggest & list the advantages & disadvantages of the private & voluntary sector • Recall the information learnt from this lesson and previous lessons to answer an exam question
Private Sector Characteristics… • Foremost objective is to make a profit • Provide high quality facilities • Membership & admission charges are higher than the public sector • Target high value goods & services for better-off members of the community • Do not have a public service commitment or remit
Private Sector PRIVATE SECTOR – consists of mainly commercial companies who provide leisure and recreation facilities & services as a business venture, and for profit • A large & growing sector – offering many employment opportunities & adding to country’s economic activity With your partner can you think of 2 examples of what Private enterprises now often provide? http://www.bpl.org.uk/
Rapid expansion in the private sector • Increased awareness of health & exercise • Increasing national wealth Facilities are of high quality which is reflected in their admission/membership charges FEAR Pick all the best recreational opportunities & users leaving the public sector to provide more expensive facilities (large swimming pools) for the less well-off members of society
Relationship between Public & Private • Governments have insisted that local councils manage their facilities efficiently & effectively • In the early 1990’s the policy of ‘Compulsory Competitive Tendering’ was introduced (now moved on to ‘Best Value’ system) to introduce to the public sector the standards of management & service evident in the private sector
Advantages & Disadvantages Class are divided into two: One half researching advantages & the other disadvantages… You are then going to swap with someone in the other half and discuss and write down their points
Exam-Style Question ‘It would be beneficial to allow the private sector to provide sport & physical recreation facilities for all, as it would do so more efficiently & with higher quality’. Discuss this statement. (6 marks)
Peer AssessmentEnsure they have written about both positives & negatives • Can react quickly to demand • It has the money to meet individuals needs • Would offer more employment & activity opportunities to society • Not everyone could afford the membership/cost • People may feel that they didn’t fit in as there is a degree of social exclusivity • May be long waiting lists to join as there could be a restriction in numbers
Voluntary Sector Biggest sector in terms of the amount & range of provision that is made Think of who in your club/team could be a volunteer & what kinds of PA are provided through the voluntary sector ** For every paid professional club there are hundreds of amateur ones
Where do these resources come from? • Grants from local authorities, councils etc. (local councils get their funding from government grants & local taxes) • Grants from the National Lottery (Awards for All, Sport England) • Annual subscriptions & match fees • Fund raising activities • Income from social activities e.g. club bar
Voluntary Sector Characteristics • It operates on a non-profit basis • Players & participants pay to play through match fees/subscriptions • Support roles within a team/club are filled by volunteers • They receive grant aids & support from the National Lottery Sport England & the National Governing Body • Raise funds through social activities, raffles etc. • Any income generation will be retained within the club to enhance facilities • This sector has the whole range of sporting & physical recreation activities
