We are interested to know how people have found the BG complaints service since the beginning of the Whyte Review - either complaints considered under the ICP or those through the BG welfare department. We would be grateful if you can answer the following questions 👉🏾

To learn more about parental socialisation into the gymnastics culture, take a look at this article written by one of our co-founders. Shout out to Chris Tomlinson (former CMO at BG) for including this work in BASEM Today to raise awareness of the issues to sports practitioners.

Lack of transparency from NGB's around safeguarding sanctions enables abusive coaches to work within other orgs unrestricted. 'Top' British coach banned for maltreatment of gymnasts not only working abroad but also working in a consultant capacity in UK. akrobastisch.de/2019/12/04/nei…

Recommendations from the review into UK Canoeing include independent leads for investigations into compliance and safeguarding 'in appropriate cases' given the [previous] culture of fear in reporting. This would be good governance for all UK Sport funded programmes.

I do not understand how Canada is assessing & resolving cases of Abuse in Sport. An Olympic level coach found guilty of sexual maltreatment, neglect, grooming & psychological maltreatment = 2 yrs then back to the job. Does the punishment fit the crime, @CQualtro?

@rwesthead Without knowing the full details, one observation would be that it seems this is classic “retaliation” & “intimidation” by the coaches & / or associations to silence players & parents from speaking out. That IMHO is the #1 issue that needs to be STOPPED! #speakout

Those who initially spoke out were accused of being liars, not good enough, doing it for attention, couldn’t hack a winning environment etc Then the dam burst over time and there were over 400 complaints into the Whyte Review Progress has been slow and at times wildly misplaced

Despite 3 safeguarding investigation over 10 yrs & being described by children's services as a 'Brutal taskmaster' & the police concluding her coaching methods are 'bordering on abuse', Rochelle Douglas still "denies any mistreatment of gymnasts". Re-education not an option. BYE

I am curious as to why the coach in the report who was suspended in 2017, and remains suspended following the outcome of that investigation is not on the @BritGymnastics Banned List. It appears she meets the criteria as she reveived a 'time limited ban ... subject to conditions'.

Privileged to have been invited to speak as part of a roundtable organised by the DCMS and share some of my experiences with the Minister for Sport and his team. Unsettling to hear such similar stories from a variety of sports. #BeTheChange
