Members will be in and out. They are doing DLs as well, so Kim will be back.
Thank you. Okay. Order, order. Good afternoon and welcome to the Women and Equalities Select Committee. Today we're holding an oral evidence session on routes into non-participatory roles in sport for girls and for women.
Welcome to our panel today. We will hear from Emma Batchelor, Head of Performance Health at England and GB Hockey, UK Sports Institute. We'll be hearing from Gemma Davies, Senior Lecturer in Sport Performance Analysis at Cardiff Met and Lead Performance Analyst at Welsh Feathers. And Professor Kirsty Elliott-Sale, Professor of Female Endocrinology and Exercise Physiology at Manchester Met. And Professor Leanne Norman, Professor of Women in Sport and the Director of the Women in Sport Research and Innovation Hub at Loughborough University.
And Dr Alice Harkness-Armstrong, Lecturer in Performance Analysis, School of Sport, Rehabilitation and Exercise Sciences at the University of Essex. Wow, you have got long job titles. So that means that you are the perfect expert witnesses for today, and I'm really excited to hear about some of the work that you've been doing and some of the areas that we can see improvements in. So I'm going to hand straight over to Christie.
