Oxfordshire County Council originally gave itself several months to test the permit scheme, and open it to residents.
In their panicked attempt to meet an impossible bus improvement target, which they voluntarily agreed to, corners have been cut everywhere - including testing.
Absolutely terrifying Panorama report on Jon Rudd's lack of safeguarding awareness and bullying culture at Plymouth Leander Swimming Club.
It would appear Swim England, once again, failed to act upon reasonable reports made about coaching and welfare standards in the 00s and 10s.
@GCTosley@Swim_England@AndySalmon3 ?? Let's not pretend this is just about John Rudd either check ALL the complaints raised to @Swim_England (by children) to fully understand the breadth of this. Swim England had NO process for managing complaints!
A world record-breaking swimmer has told BBC Panorama she was left "broken" by the harsh regime run by one of the UK's most successful swimming coaches

@Swim_England One of your staff has just made weak non-apology to young people trained by Jon Rudd. There is no doubt these young people have been abused by Swim England, & your staff are implying the fault is theirs. Have you nothing to say to these young people?
@BBCPanorama The last sentence should perhaps read Rudd has not yet been suspended by @Swim_England and like so many other coaches is simply allowed to move on to other clubs @Tanni_GT
World record-breaking swimmer Rūta Meilutytė said coach Jon Rudd’s focus on weighing and swimmers’ diets contributed to her struggle with an eating disorder and depression
Swim England has apologised
Rudd has not yet responded to the BBC

@BBCPanorama@Swim_England@Tanni_GT Swimming has the highest rate of EDs in sport. EDs have highest rate of mortality in mental health issues. Any decent coach would know this & would be actively ensuring swimmers welfare in this area. Especially as these "swimmers" are children.@Swim_England has a duty of care
