Exercise and Sports: Databases
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she plans to mandate the OpenActive data standard for publicly-funded (a) leisure facilities and (b) activity providers.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
Award agreements for organisations that receive Lottery funding from Sport England contain a clause that states they should implement relevant open data standards - this includes OpenActive, Active Places, Open Referral and other open standards relevant to the outcomes they are delivering.
Over 120 organisations are now publishing their opportunity data and are active members of the OpenActive community.More than 4,000 organisers of physical activity opportunities are currently featured in OpenActive data.
