answer text <p>I have been carefully considering the recommendation in Baroness Grey-Thompson’s Duty of Care in Sport review for the establishment of an independent sports ombudsman. As I stated during my appearance before the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee in November 2017, I would like to consider the Committee’s report of their inquiry into sports governance before making any decisions about whether or how to take this recommendation forward.</p><p> </p><p>It is important that elite sports’ systems for dealing with concerns about athlete welfare are as effective as possible, regardless of whether any new service - be that an ombudsman or a different model - is developed. UK Sport have been proactive on this issue and are working to strengthen the existing systems, structures and responsibilities for dispute resolution within the high performance system.</p><p> </p> more like this
