Inclusive Health Check Week: get the most from your Check and action plan
Inclusive Health Check Week takes place from 28 September to 02 October 2026, providing an opportunity for schools and School Games Organisers (SGOs) to reflect on inclusive practice, identify areas for development, and turn their findings into meaningful action.
The Inclusive Health Check is designed to help you understand where your current provision is working well, identify opportunities to strengthen inclusion, and support your planning for the year ahead.
But completing the Check is only the first step. The real value comes from using your findings to identify actions that can make a difference to the experiences and opportunities available to all young people.
Get ahead with your School Games Mark
The Inclusive Health Check is a mandatory part of the School Games Mark application. Completing your Check early gives you time to reflect on your findings and put your learning into action, helping you to strengthen your provision ahead of the next School Games Mark application.
It also means you're one step closer to being ready for the 2026/27 School Games Mark, when applications open in the summer term.
