Task

APEASE

Every physical activity intervention in school will have strengths and limitations and judgement is always required to predict how an intervention will turn out. With this in mind, APEASE criteria are very useful for schools when deciding which physical activity interventions to prioritise and whether or not to proceed with a given intervention or change. Any one APEASE criterion can make an intervention untenable. For example, it does not matter how effective an intervention is if it is unaffordable or impracticable.

Download and complete this easy to use APEASE tool to support your intervention decisions and make the most effective and sustainable changes.

You may wish to read the APEASE definitions before choosing to either use the SIMPLE plan or the COMPLEX plan using the tabs at the bottom of the document.
