Based on consultation with the Forces, the MOD and wider government, industry and charities - as well as hundreds of former Service personnel and their families - the Review includes more than 50 proposals to improve transition in fields including education, employment, health, housing, welfare, finance, information provision, the charity sector, and the way society perceives Service Leavers.

Download or read book Leaving the services written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-07-27 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ministry of Defence needs to recruit about 20,000 men and women each year and as most of these people will leave the service at least 25 years before the national retirement age they will need to pursue a second career. The Department believes that "a robust and effective system of resettlement provision is a fundamental pillar of personnel support" and so each service leaver has access to assistance in returning to civilian life. This includes: support and advice; coaching in CV writing and interview techniques; support from career consultants; access to training; and briefing on housing and financial awareness. This report examines the resettlement of service personnel and finds that it compares favourably with services offered in other countries. It offers 12 recommendations on how it could be further improved.

Download or read book Masculinities at the Margins written by Amanda Chisholm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-18 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across a rich terrain of empirical and theoretical trajectories, the concept of military masculinity (now understood in its plural as military masculinities) has been a significant conceptual tool in both feminist international relations (IR) and in critical men and masculinities studies scholarship. The concept has helped us to unpack the relationships between gender, war, and militarism, including how military standards function in the production of wider normative, hegemonic manliness. As such, military masculinities has been a rewarding tool for many scholars who take a critical approach to the study of war and the military. This edited volume advances an emerging curiosity within accounts of military masculinities. This curiosity concerns the silences within, and disruptions to, our well-established and perhaps-too-comfortable understandings of, and empirical focal points for, military masculinities, gender, and war. The contributors to this volume trouble the ease with which we might be tempted to synonymize militaries, war, and a neat, ‘hegemonic’ masculinity. Taking the disruptions, the asides, and the silences seriously challenges the common wisdoms of military masculinities, gender, and war in productive and necessary ways. Doing so necessitates a reorientation of where, to whom, and for what we look to understand the operation of gendered military power. The chapters were originally published in a special issue of Critical Military Studies.

This book was released on 2011-12-15 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government must show how the excellent medical care being delivered to injured service personnel will continue long after the memory of the Afghan Operation fades. This report, which gives praise to the first class medical treatment provided for the Armed Forces, questions whether the support for injured personnel will be sustainable over the long term. In particular, the committee is concerned about the number of people who may go on to develop severe and life-limiting, physical, mental health, alcohol or neurological problems. There is still a question mark over whether the Government as a whole fully understands the likely future demands and related costs

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the ‘Active Ageing’ agenda to enable readers to consider the implications of this phenomenon for the law, the workplace, and for working lives from a holistic perspective. Challenges of Active Ageing brings together academics working throughout Europe from different disciplines including law, industrial relations, human resource management and occupational psychology to explore and debate the challenges of the ‘Active Ageing’ agenda for equality law and management practice. Also including shorter contributions from law, human resource management, trade union and other practitioners, this book aims to fully reflect how organizations can adjust their practices to respond to the challenge of an aging population and extended working lives.

Download or read book The Armed Forces Covenant in action written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Defence Committee and published by Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-07-18 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of Ofsted inspections on Army Apprenticeships conducted in 2013 rated the overall effectiveness as good. This was an improvement over the last inspection in 2009, rated as satisfactory (now called 'requires improvement'). Some 28 per cent of Army recruits were less than 18 years of age. Further information is needed on why the Army is so dependent on recruiting personnel under the age of 18 years compared to the other two Services, and whether steps are being taken to reduce this dependency. Of those recruited in 2012, 3.5 per cent of the Army were rated at entry level 2 for literacy (that of a 7 to 8 year old) and 39 per cent had a literacy level of an eleven year old. If as the MoD states, it has to recruit personnel at whatever level of attainment is available, then it should boost remedial action when recruitment entry standards are particularly low. In light of changes brought about by Future Force 2020, it may be that recruiting personnel with higher levels of attainment would better meet the future needs of the Armed Forces. Whilst the Committee recognises that some recruits may not be eager to take further academic exams, the MoD should encourage more recruits to undertake English and Maths GCSEs which would stand them in good stead for future employment. The MoD has carried out some useful pilot projects with paramedic training and should identify more potential projects to ensure that vital skills paid for by the MoD are not lost to the country

Download or read book Trauma Informed Forensic Practice written by Phil Willmot and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-10 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trauma-Informed Forensic Practice argues for placing trauma-informed practice and thinking at the heart of forensic services. It is written by forensic practitioners and service users from prison and forensic mental health, youth justice, and social care settings. It provides a compassionate theoretical framework for understanding the links between trauma and offending. It also gives practical guidance on working with issues that are particularly associated with a history of trauma in forensic settings, such as self-harm and substance use, as well as on working with groups who are particularly vulnerable to trauma, such as those with intellectual disabilities and military veterans. Finally, it considers organisational aspects of delivering trauma-informed care, not just for service users but for the staff who work in challenging and dangerous forensic environments. The book is the first of its kind to address such a broad range of issues and settings. It is aimed at forensic practitioners who wish to develop their own trauma-informed practice or trauma-responsive services. It also provides an accessible introduction to trauma-informed forensic practice for undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Download or read book Education in Transition written by H.C. Dent and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998. This is Volume X of twenty-eight in the Sociology of Education series and presents a sociological study of the impact of war on English education from 1939 to 1943. Initially written in 1944. The relationship between the educational system of the social order is being increasingly realized, with the conclusion that education is one of the instruments for promoting the development of society, so if a new order is desired then a new order of education is also required. This book looks at the effects of the war and evacuation of children on the educational system via four processes: the disintegration, recuperation, adaptation and ferment.

Download or read book Support for Armed Forces Veterans in Wales written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Welsh Affairs Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Report examines whether the level of support provided to Armed Forces veterans in Wales - both immediately before they leave the service and once they return to civilian life -is adequate. The key recommendation is that the Welsh Government take forward proposals to establish a network of 'one-stop shops' for veterans across Wales. A great deal of support is available for veterans in Wales, but often a lack of awareness means that support is not taken up. A one-stop shop for veterans would be a convenient way for veterans to access information and receive advice on a range of important issues, such as housing, finances and employment. To avoid duplication, however, the Welsh Government needs to take into account the support launched or planned by local authorities as part of their Community Covenants. There should also be better co-ordination of the work done by the many charities supporting veterans. In the light of recent court cases which have illustrated the need for vigilance to prevent fraudsters taking advantage of the public's willingness to give to veterans' charities there should be much more stringent inspection of charities' finances. There is also concern about charities providing treatments for complex psychological issues that do not meet NICE guidelines. The regulation of charities may be insufficiently robust in this area. The Charity Commission should insist that veterans' charities which offer medical, psychological or counselling services provide documentation from the relevant professional bodies to confirm that they have the appropriate endorsement for the services they offer
