Saints apologises to victims ahead of Bob Higgins abuse review

We are deeply sorry : Saints apologises to victims ahead of Bob Higgins abuse review release SOUTHAMPTON Football Club has told abuse victims of former coach Bob Higgins that it is deeply sorry ahead of findings into the crimes being released later today. The club apologised to all victims and survivors of youth team coach Higgins in a statement released this morning. In 2019 Higgins was jailed for 24 years for abusing 24 boys over a 25-year period both with Saints and Peterborough. The crimes at Southampton took place in the 1970s and 1980s. An independent review was commissioned by the country s Football Association in December 2016 to look into historical sexual abuse within the sport. 

Men s football FA accused of failing to protect children

THE Football Association has been accused of “truly shocking” failings that cost young people their childhoods following the publication of the Sheldon Review into historical sexual abuse within the game. Survivors’ groups accused the FA of neglecting a course of action that should have been “blindingly obvious” in response to the emerging scandal, and DCMS chief Julian Knight said the governing body has “grave questions to answer.” Meanwhile, one abuse survivor described the scope and findings of the report itself as “dilute as Vimto for two-year olds.” The review was published today and looked at abuse between 1970 and 2005, what the FA knew and did about it, and recommendations for improving safeguarding in the future.

FA too slow to introduce proper child protection measures

Bob Higgins THE Football Association was guilty of inexcusable “institutional failings” in delaying the implementation of child safeguarding measures between 1995 and the spring of 2000, an independent review of historical sexual abuse has concluded. The long-awaited Sheldon Report criticises the FA for failing to look again at allegations against Southampton youth coach Bob Higgins when the standard of proof in disciplinary cases was lowered in 2003. Higgins was sentenced to 24 years in prison in 2019 after being found guilty of 46 counts of indecent assault against 24 people between 1971 and 1996. The review by Clive Sheldon QC said high-profile convictions – including one for serial abuser Barry Bennell in the United States in 1995 – should have served as the catalyst for change, but that it took another five years for the FA to put adequate processes in place.
