Update – February 2026
The Junior Rower and Crew Eligibility Task and Finish Group has now published a draft Final Report and Recommendations.
The panel would welcome feedback ahead of finalising its recommendations. A webinar will also be held at 19:30 on 16 February to walk through the process, outline the draft recommendations, and explain how feedback will inform the panel’s final conclusions.
This work has been shaped through a wide-ranging and consultative process, including over 260 written submissions, focus group discussions, stakeholder engagement and an equality impact assessment. The draft reflects the breadth of views and evidence shared by clubs, schools, parents, coaches, athletes and volunteers across the sport.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far – your time and insight have been instrumental in supporting the Panel in it’s work.
