This would benefit schools that don't have the facilities for some sports. Another recommendation would be that the school games program carry's on throughout education. This would gave young people something to aim for and encourage them to do sport throughout education instead of stopping after they leave primary school. The school games could also provide other activities for children to do other than sports. ]]> 2018-05-18 11:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/macy_kilkenny11/pcx5sjlnka96/wish/261875467 macy_kilkenny11 https://padlet.com/macy_kilkenny11/pcx5sjlnka96/wish/262652012 This girl can encourages women and young girls to be themselves and not be effected by what others think about them.

This means that the company could be on standby for a long time. The staff will always be on edge as they will never know when they are being assessed. This may decrease staff morale and make the staff worried about their performance within the work place. Furthermore, if the company or business can not get funding then they will have to pay a lot for investors in people to come and assess them. Not all companies and businesses can afford this resulting in them not being assessed at all. This will put them at a disadvantage compared to other companies that can afford to pay for investors in people. ]]> 2018-05-25 11:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/macy_kilkenny11/pcx5sjlnka96/wish/263604353
