Communities and Culture Committee
Inquiry into Making the Most of Sporting Events
Terms of Reference
To examine the activities of the Welsh Government, its delivery bodies and other national organisations in relation to major sporting events, in particular:
the activities related to the Ryder Cup, the lessons learned to date, and how they might be used to maximise the benefits of the Olympic Games’ legacy activities;
the structures, planning processes, coordination and organisation of activities across all Welsh Government portfolio areas and engagement with the wider stakeholder community;
the limitations faced by the Welsh Government in maximising the benefits of major events such as the Olympic Games when the events themselves are held in the UK and therefore direct influence of Welsh Government policy might be limited;
how the Welsh Government’s major sporting events work might effect lasting positive change in communities, such as through widening participation in sports and physical activity through major sporting events, especially in those sectors that usually face barriers to access sporting activity;
how the Welsh Government can encourage major sporting events to take place in Wales.
