Report summary

Edward Lewis Bilbey died at Kings Mill Hospital on 24 March 2017 after collapsing in a boxing ring following intensive training. The inquest found that his death resulted from an undiagnosed heart condition combined with metabolic disturbance associated with intense physical training and rapid weight loss by dehydration. The report raised concerns that Boxing England lacked systems to monitor and enforce child protection and safeguarding compliance, and that this issue might be more widespread among national sporting bodies.

PFD Monitor interpretation
Failure to maintain current Welfare Officer registration records
Wider context from the report
“At Mr Bilbey’s club the registered Welfare Officer had left the club three years prior to Mr Bilbey’s death. However, his name was at the time registered on ‘The Vault’ held and maintained by England Boxing. From the evidence heard at inquest there no thing to demonstrate that the name of the Welfare officer and his contact details were displayed prominent in the club. In fact those details were not displayed at all. There was a registered level 2 couch registered on ‘The Vault’. However, in evidence the witness stated under oath that he did not undertake any training or coaching activities at the club. ”

PFD Monitor interpretation
Lack of systems to monitor and enforce compliance with child protection and safeguarding requirements
Wider context from the report
“Boxing England, A National Governing Body did not have in place any systems to monitor and enforce compliance with Child Protection and Safeguarding issues. Given the media coverage of issues with Child Protection and Safeguarding with British Gymnastics and British Athletics I am concerned that this is endemic amongst Sporting National Bodies. ”
