In part 2: you will select one field from the list supplied and explain the extent to which the 2012 Olympic/Paralympic Games has or has not contributed to development in that field. (sport in schools, women’s sport or disability sport). 1200 words.

You need to explain if there have been any developments in the field as a result of the Olympics/Paralympics.

‘Development’ can relate to organizational, policy and/or public profile changes; also, it may relate to a growth in the popularity of or participation in a field. It is up to you to focus on one or two aspects rather than trying to cover all of organisation, policy, public profile and popularity/participation changes; the main thing is to develop an evidence-based discussion.
