British Gymnastics suspend all Trampoline World Class Programmes with immediate effect. 🙀🤬🤬
Why?
In a world where words carry custodial sentences in the UK all I will say is...
'Allegedly, said coach or coaches abuse became so severe to said gymnast or gymnasts that they had to close the programme!
Let that sink in. This is the same British Gymnastics who allowed coaching from afar for an arrested child offender whilst out on bail.
Shuddering to think what could have caused them to close the elite programme. 🤢🤮
No governing body enforcing BG to comply with the Whyte report, allows these disgusting coaches whomever they are to thrive!
Indeed, plus the individual's still there who allowed Stuart Woods to 'Manage from Afar' which meant being around minors whilst on bail for sex offences. 🤯
My wife bumped into him in the car park, outside a BG British Tournament. The head of welfare, and the head of Teamgym (the discipline where Stuart was GB coach) are still in position today. The 2 mentioned, are responsible for allowing Stuart to continue to have contact with minors. Whilst on bail. I wonder what marvellous decision they are still making?
Stuart Woods a @BritGymnastics Great Britain Team Gym Coach raped minors. FACT.
He is now serving 11 and a half years for his crimes. FACT.
His victims, their parents have never received an apology for his disgusting behaviour from British Gymnastics to this very day. FACT.
There has been 18 x BG coaches, CONVICTED since 2013 FACT.
We had a Banned List stating those FACTS.
It has recently been changed so all offences are 'Safeguarding'? FACT.
So can someone tell me, why?
'Allegedly' there must be some sick, twisted or very dark minds within our organisation to formulate such deception.

***ALERTING ALL GYMNASTIC MEMBERS***
'Convictions for Sex Offences against Minors' on the BG banned list has been changed to... 'Safeguarding' 😲
WTA..Fudge @BritGymnastics
You're not trying to change, you're protecting your brand by making the list less frightening. 🤬
How much did you invest in this PR stunt?
How much time did you spend formulating this disgusting plan to fool the public?
Whose idea was it?
Do you seriously think this helps the Gymnasts safety?
The parents?
Who are you trying to hide the 18 CONVICTIONS since 2013 from?
That's 1.63 British Gymnastics Coaches are Convicted per year in just the last 11 years!
Anyone got an answer as to why BG would not want any member, minor, or parent knowing this stat?
See for yourselves.
1st Pic old banned list clearly showing the monsters behaviour.
Pic 2 new banned list.
Which do you think is the more informative?
I see you BG, and people wonder why we have not sat down with you yet to discuss change.
Let the above and the following show you that...
UNTIL THEY ARE PREPARED TO CHANGE, ANY MEETING WITH THEM IS LIP SERVICE!
Judge them by their actions, not what's said in round table meetings and glossy brochures.
@Gymnasts_Voice@Zenastics1
This is wrong on a number of levels. 4 year prison sentence for raping a child, with only 12 months served? He should not be in the Olympics and should not be given the platform to potentially retraumatise his victim and other abuse survivors
It would seem that EVEN if coaches have CURRENT complaints or issues against them - they can STILL be named and in the spotlight of the Olympic Support Team eh 🤬🤦🏼♀️

Great idea @DinoNocivelli .
Publicly creating awareness for our gymnastic community, and giving any gymnast an avenue to help others can only be a positive thing.
Let's hope others come forward to support whoever's case.
Please read the link and contact Dino if you can assist.
Witness appeal for information about alleged abuse in British Gymnastics (and in particualr allegations against Ian Matthews and Craig Lowther). If you can, please contact me and help to share -

***UNICORN'S DON'T EXIST***
The most successful gymnastics abuse lawyer in 2024 @DinoNocivelli, explains why anyone in an ICP, (where you're basically a witness for @BritGymnastics with no legal representation for yourself) should seek a second opinion, report to the police, get legal advice and start a criminal or civil case NOW...
You can run your civil case (If the parameters and evidence suffice) alongside you're ICP.
"THERE IS NO LAW PREVENTED YOU DOING SO, OR ANY STATUTE TO STOP THE ICP LAWYERS ACCEPTING THAT DUAL ACTION".
Running both cases simultaneously, saves you costs as the collated evidence is valid for both cases.
A civil case allows you to collate all the evidence, have a crime reference that allows others to add their evidence to your case.
It also allows others with cases against the same coach to be a witness for your case.
Whilst the ICP my apply the same parameters, due to the GDPR no one can discuss their ICP case meaning if a group of claimants have evidence to support another claimant's case...
Neither party involved, would know! 🤪
A civil case allows you the freedom to talk and share evidence (within the parameters of your case) making the gathering of additional evidence to support your claim, easy and immediately possible with the crime number.
No communication between ICP parties due to GDPR restrictions, will only lead to individual complaints against a coach.
Rather than the multiple complaints against said coach.
Good communication between fellow complainants' against the SAME COACH would be a much more powerful case. Negating any hearsay, one persons word against another. Than the format currently being followed.
Collective voices, are always more powerful than 1 individuals voice against the same coach.
Let's collectively be 1 voice. The Gymnasts' Voice. Be heard, be fearless and be supported.
