Consult on the participation of U18 and Adults at Risk in the highest levels of senior international high-performance sport, and the options available to policy makers to ensure a safe environment is provided.

The purpose of this consultation is to examine the breadth and experience of youth participation in the highest levels of elite international sport, and to make policy recommendations to ensure their safeguarding and welfare remains paramount. reas for consultation should include: • The breadth of athletes for which competing in senior top level international sport as a minor, is commonplace. • For the purposes of this project, we are looking to explore athlete's experiences at, but not limited to, Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, Commonwealth Games, World Cups/Championships, European Championships, overseas training camps. • The current measures in place to support and protect these individuals as they engage with such experiences. • Identification of key risks • Recommendations for risk mitigation and potential levels of support which should be put in place. • The level of time commitment to training to compete at international competition and for participation on their World Class Programme. Methodology Whilst there is not a fixed view on the methodology which should be used, a solely quantitative approach is unlikely to provide the richness of insight required. Therefore, we would expect qualitative methods to be deployed either solely or as part of a mixed methods approach. We welcome suggestions on the optimal approach to this project. Sample We anticipate the research will explore the experiences of those competing whilst U18 (both current and retired), their families and support staff, with a focus on early specialisation sports (e.g. Aquatics, Gymnastics, Ski & Snowboard, Skateboarding). Areas to consider: • Differences across Olympic and Paralympic sports • Any circumstances which may increase an athlete's risk e.g. family circumstances. • Any differences within demographics • Experience at international competitions • Are experiences at competition with anti-doping as expected and sufficiently supported? • Cost implications of widening this research to U25s. • Alignment with UK Sport's Safe Sport Project - undertaken by an independent project lead, to consult partners and set out recommendations on how we - as a system- could fundamentally reshape the culture, functions and services underpinning the provision of safe sport in the future. The selected supplier will be expected to align with the findings from this work to ensure no duplication of work and to understand the landscape of work which has taken place. Risks: Appointed supplier needs to have demonstrable experience in interviewing young people and dealing with sensitive topics with a clear understanding that the safeguarding of the research participants is top priority. Athlete recruitment: we welcome innovative suggestions on how we may engage with our athletes to ensure the optimum breadth of insight, especially those who may not engage with traditional survey methods. Key Deliverables: • Establish a relevant body of evidence, taking into consideration the professional sporting landscape alongside Olympic and Paralympic sports. • Identify key source information required and stakeholder groups for consultation • Design and deliver an appropriate consultation process, with the youth athlete voice at the heart and detail of the optimal engagement strategy for this cohort. • Deliver a report of findings with policy recommendations. Timeframe This research is related to the Whyte Review recommendations and therefore is a priority piece of work.

Research Services into the use of artificial intelligence and other disruptive technologies in corporate reporting

The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) regulates auditors, accountants and actuaries and sets the UK's Corporate Governance and Stewardship Codes. As the Competent Authority for audit in the UK, we set auditing and ethical standards and monitor and enforce audit quality. The purpose of the FRC is to serve the public interest and support UK economic growth by upholding high standards of corporate governance, corporate reporting, audit and actuarial work. Companies are using artificial intelligence (AI) and other disruptive technologies within their business operations. However, there is currently a limited understanding of, and evidence on, their use of AI and other disruptive technologies in the production of narrative/financial information in corporate reports ('corporate reporting'). The FRC is seeking research services into the use of artificial intelligence and other disruptive technologies in corporate reporting. This research project will gather evidence about the use of AI and other disruptive technologies in corporate reporting to inform FRC regulatory practice and policy. The research project will answer the following research questions: (1). What specific AI and other disruptive technologies are most commonly used in corporate reporting, and how are they being used? (2). How is the use of AI and other disruptive technologies in corporate reporting influencing changes to governance and audit processes? (3). How do companies believe their stakeholders perceive the reliability and transparency of corporate reports prepared with the use of AI? The research population will be companies that meet the UK Public Interest Entity (PIE) definition, i.e. those with transferable securities listed on a UK-regulated market, credit institutions, and insurance undertakings, and their finance and corporate reporting teams. The FRC does not anticipate tender bids over £70,000 excl. VAT . PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED INVITATION TO TENDER FOR FULL DETAILS (including Suggested approaches).
