Safeguarding champion for dancers hoping for regulation of dancing. standing together with #gymnastalliance and @gympal #pointetheway


Finally watched @athleteafilm and stunned by the strength of the women who spoke out and took the risk to protect the future of other girls. Athletes exist in such a complex web of pressure/power/control which needs to be better understood and addressed


If you don’t speak out about abuse, especially against those without a voice...our children, you are part of the problem. Silence kills. Speaking out saves lives. If no one listens: shout, scream, have a loud tantrum❣️



This is the result of zero accountability. Over a hundred gymnasts. Over 60 came forward to report at just one ballet school! Imagine the scale of this in dancing. Guidelines for safeguarding don’t work. Legal consequences do. @educationgovuk @itvnews @GympalGB #law4dance

The Whyte Review – some considerations. mandatenow.org.uk/the-whyte-revi…



I woke up today crying hysterically, having just had a terrifying dream about my former gymnastics coach where I was still his gymnast. I quit gymnastics when I was just shy of 18. I’m now 37. The trauma is real. #gymnastalliance

Just 7 days left to submit your evidence for the Whyte Review. This is your opportunity to raise your concerns, have your voice heard and effect change within BG. The time to act is now.

You have every right to know what goes on behind gym doors and every right to say you don't like it.

@law4dance @uk_sport @Sport_England @DCMS @CommonsDCMS @InquiryCSA Discussing safeguarding (ink on paper) policies alone has little to no value without discussing the holographic legislative foundations. Delivering safeguarding in #RegulatedActivities I.e dance, sport, education &c., is like nailing jelly to a wall - unreliable. /1

@law4dance @CYPCS Hi @law4dance, We'll soon be introducing a register of RAD Teachers to allow parents & students to verify who is registered with us. We're also consulting government & within the sector on what other measures can be brought in. We welcome any suggestions via press@rad.org.uk

Does incorporation of UNCRC give children who suffered abuse in dance (and other activities) a voice and a right to justice? Will it protect future children from abusers where interpretation of the current system often fails? @CYPCS @COPFS @JoeFitzSNP #law4dance

The war of words between @amytinkler2 and @BritGymnastics intensifies. Following her open letter to CEO Jane Allen yesterday, Tinkler received a reply from BG's Integrity Director. "Can I ask why you responded when my letter was addressed to JA?"
