Foundations 360

Foundations 360 is a free, digital reflection tool to help sports clubs and organisations across Wales create the best possible environments for children aged 3–11 to enjoy physical activity and sport.

It supports the Foundations Framework Wales, helping you reflect on three core principles:

• Safety & Belonging
• Enjoyment & Involvement
• Development & Confidence

Outcome: A clear picture of how your club feels for children, coaches, and volunteers – and practical steps to keep improving.

What is Foundations 360?

Foundations 360 is:

• A simple, flexible online platform for self-reflection
• Developmental – focused on continual improvement, not ticking boxes
• Holistic – capturing insights from club committees, coaches, and children

Based on your responses, you’ll receive a report that:

• Highlights your strengths as a club
• Identifies areas for development
• Signposts you to relevant resources to help you take action

How will it help my club?

Foundations 360 is built around real experiences:

• What it feels like to be part of your club
• How children engage and participate
• How coaches are supported to grow

You can use the results to:

• Shape your club’s plans and priorities
• Share progress with your committee and coaching team
• Work with your local sports development team or NGB officer on an action plan

We recommend revisiting the tool annually to track your progress over time.

Who is it for?

Foundations 360 is freely available to:

• All sports clubs and organisations in Wales
• Working with children aged 3–11

Committee members, coaches, and partners (e.g. NGB officers) can all contribute to building the full picture.
