Description | A lay report has been presented to research stakeholders, where discussions took place concerning the impact of this research on policy. We are in the process of developing educational material for athletes and athlete support personnel regarding eating disorders in sport. The key liaison officer for British Gymnastics left the association to become CEO of another sport organisation in 2015 and despite our best efforts the organisation decided it wasn't a priority. |
