GB Snowsport Defends Itself Against Accusations of Poor Governance
GB Snowsport has commissioned several independent reviews and claims they return positive assurances about governance.
“In addition to recent independent assurance of our strong financial governance, GB Snowsport is pleased to have received positive independent and internal broader governance assurance reviews including an Independent Board Governance Report, a positive NSPCC Annual Safeguarding Review, a positive Culture Health Check, and recognition of our compliance with the Code for Sport Governance,” said GB Snowsport in a statement.
“This body of financial and broader governance assurance evidence is consistent with a picture of strong governance within GB Snowsport.
“UK Sport’s assessment that GB Snowsport is not fit and proper to receive public funding for the French Alps 2030 Cycle on the basis of its governance is at odds with the clear and consistent conclusions evidenced by those independent assurance reviews,” it added.
GB Snowsport is pursuing its rights under UK Sport’s published Representations and Appeals Process in relation to the French Alps 2030 Cycle investment decision.
GB Snowsport will continue to engage constructively with UK Sport while remaining focused on supporting the interests and the continued success of British ski and snowboard athletes.
