- Funding bodies make 19 wide-ranging commitments
- Review exposed shocking culture in gymnastics
A “multimillion-pound investment in the integrity of British sport” has been launched after the British Gymnastics abuse scandal. The proposals, from funding bodies UK Sport and Sport England, include 19 commitments to create safer environments for participants, better coaching and workforce support at elite and grassroots level.
It follows last year’s Whyte Review into gymnastics, which painted a shocking and often sickening picture of the culture at all levels of the sport. Significant other welfare concerns have also been reported in numerous sports, including athletics, cycling and swimming.
