UK Sport and Sport England outline increased safeguarding and welfare plans for all sports
News item 16 Jan 2023: The two largest sporting bodies responsible for funding elite and grassroots sport in the UK outlined plans to strengthen safeguarding and welfare across all sports. The move by UK Sport and Sport England is in response to the shocking findings of the Whyte Review, which was published last June. It revealed the often sickening lengths at which young gymnasts were being bullied, starved, and physically and mentally abused by those entrusted with their safety and welfare, their coaches. The Whyte Review suggests over 3,500 complaints were made to British Gymnastics between 2008 and 2020. While British Gymnastics is undergoing a long process of reform with oversight from both UK Sport and Sport England, it was acknowledged in the aftermath of the Whyte Review that strengthening safeguarding and welfare should not be confined just to gymnastics, but all sports.
