Design outputs for each model will include, but not be limited to: - Programme and curriculum design for all phases of the NCS Programme - Recommendations and outlines of suitable venues and logistical considerations - Training and recruitment materials for young people and delivery staff The sports and arts themed models will be designed for ages 16 - 17 years old (Year 11 and 12) and will be inclusive for all young people and comply with the Equality Act 2010.
