Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, how his Department plans to track progress on athlete welfare within UK Sport-affiliated organisations.

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport reports annually on the Sporting Future strategy, which includes a range of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Athlete welfare is captured by KPI 25, which tracks the percentage of UK Sport-funded athletes who feel cared about as a person in their World Class Performance Programme, as measured by UK Sport’s Culture Health Check survey. The latest report can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sporting-future-second-annual-report.
