Watch: Jeremy Corbyn supports calls for mandatory reporting of suspected child sexual abuse in sport

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says he would support the introduction of mandatory reporting of suspected child sexual abuse in sport.

Mr Corbyn said: "Where there is any suspicion of any abuse, an abuse of a position of power and authority, over a vulnerable young person, there must be mandatory reporting.

"There must be no hiding place for it."

The government is currently consulting on measures around reporting and acting on child abuse and neglect.
