I see City are saying that the report "remains confidential because disciplinary action against current academy employees is ongoing.".

The club are right not to share any details of the investigation, particularly when it's on-going.
Confidentiality in disciplinary procedures is very important.
Also, the parents won't have an automatic right to see the report unless the kid was under 18 and raised a grievance.
I'm quite knowledgeable on employment law but haven't looked too much at this story.
The club have admitted that there's problem, and you ridicule it with your daft comment about GSTQ, which tells all we need to know really. I've no idea who has done what, but neither do you, none of us do. What is certain is that the club have admitted that there has been bullying, and none of us can say who is guilty of it.
I agree, I reckon bells had it tough, left home at 15/16 and worked the hard way up under some great old school managers. He probably thinks he can adopt the same methods today, unfortunately, you can’t with today’s youth, they are too brittle and expect to be treated like stars at 12.
This is a hot topic in the youth football world, i was at a football coach CPD on Wednesday ( another day off with no pay, but hey ho ), I am pushing myself in the girls coaching world, I'm enjoying it and running with it, One of the coaches who is involved with Swindon youth recognised my accent and we got chatting that i was a long way from home etc etc ( its not actually that far, but it was a ice breaker from him ) anyways, we got around to Cardiff city and its academy set-up, another 2 development officer joins in the convo ( this time from Bristol City and Liverpool )
The popular opinion from them was that Bellars made it in the game and was coached the old fashioned way, todays children need to be treated differently, every single one of them will believe they are going to make it big in the game, parents will think the same, the coaching team have to run with it, its 100% positive, the scouser said they need to be treated all the same and we need to accept you cannot criticise them, Now sometimes playing a elite sport these players need to be told they are not doing something right, its a fine line and something people will struggle with ( alot like in society these days )
One of them has come accross Bellers at academy games and said he came across very well, a true professional
Little Jimmy's parents thought he was world class.
Cardiff City thought he was shite.
Cardiff tried to push him. He was still shite.
Parents disagreed and blamed the club for the way they pushed him, as he's so good he didn't need pushing.
Jimmy cried, parents complained.
