Call for evidence description

Government has asked Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson to lead a review into the Duty of Care sport has towards participants. The aim is to develop a comprehensive plan for how government and the whole sporting system can more effectively look after people who take part in grassroots sport and people who perform at the elite level, including those on a talent pathway.

This call for evidence will gather information from people who are or have been involved in sport and from members of the public. The review team is interested in views and experiences of what works well and how current systems could be improved.

The questions cover elite and grassroots sport.

At an elite sport level:

• the experience of entering and leaving talent pathways
• the prevention and management of brain injuries, catastrophic injuries and other medical issues
• the mental health support offered to sport participants
• the representation of athletes’ interests within sport governance
• the support provided to people on talent pathways to help them gain a formal education
• safeguarding of young people and adults

At a grassroots sport level:

• the prevention and management of brain injuries, catastrophic injuries and other medical issues
• safeguarding of young people and adults
