unstar this property answer text <p>When invited, the Armed Forces visit schools or colleges to support the school curriculum; to improve the awareness of their role and the range of career opportunities across the Armed Forces, including those unique to the Submarine Service such as nuclear engineering, and to pass on valuable skills such as leadership, teamwork and citizenship. In addition, the Royal Navy has established affiliations with four University Technical Colleges specialising in engineering and technical subjects. Under these affiliations, and it is hoped that more will follow, the Royal Navy will provide engineering expertise to assist with student projects and provide key note speakers.</p><p>Information on the Armed Forces in Britain and abroad, including their role, history, current operations and what it is like to work as part of the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, is also available to schools and colleges through the British Armed Forces Learning Resource 2014.</p> more like this

Member to the answers I gave on 24 February 2014 (Official Report, column 65W), to the hon. Member for Bridgend (<strong><a title="See more information about Madeleine Moon" href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/?m=40117" target="_blank"><strong>Madeleine Moon</strong></a>),</strong> for details of recent steps taken to prevent bullying.</p><p> </p><p>Every suicide is a tragedy and our thoughts remain with the families of all those who have sadly taken their own lives. Suicide among members of the Armed Forces remains rare and is lower than comparative rates in the civilian population.</p><p> </p><p>The MOD is committed to providing our Service personnel with the highest level of mental health and welfare support. Commanding officers in each of the Services are given clear guidance on the management of individuals who are potentially vulnerable or at risk for a variety of reasons, including the risk of suicide or deliberate self-harm.</p><p> </p><p>The Suicide Vulnerability Risk Management (SVRM) policy is a preventive strategy used by the Army that allows the identification of individuals who may be at risk and signposts appropriate responses and management tools to be used by the chain of command.In autumn 2014, a number of mental health study days will be launched across the Army with particular emphasis on SVRM and training on post-operational stress management, trauma risk management and debt awareness.</p><p> </p><p>Royal Navy Medical Officers now employ structured mental health assessments as a tool for assessing the mental health of officers and routinely employ the tool during Service Medical Examinations. This service is readily accessible at all baseports and urgent assessments are offered within one working day.</p><p> </p><p>The Royal Air Force has recently revised its Management and Resilience Policy. Since November 2013, the RAF Stress Management and Resilience Team (SMARTT) has been producing and trialling a ‘Suicide Awareness' package in association with Mental Health professionals. SMARTT is due to begin a training programme to enable units to deliver the package to their personnel.</p><p> </p>
