CarePALs are Physical Activity Leaders (PALs) who have been trained to lead physical activities specifically in day and residential care settings.
The programme has been designed to enable care staff to deliver physical activity sessions, which can be included as part of the daily or weekly routines, without additional costs to the care service.
Participants are not expected to have any background or formal experience in leading physical activities but they will need to have an interest in learning to lead physical activities. They will also need a commitment from their employer to put a programme in place following their CarePALs training.
