<p>The Ministry of Defence has a range of policies designed to support relationships
where both partners are serving members of the Armed Forces.</p><p>These include a
number of Joint Service Publications (JSP), which, for example, set out eligibility
for the occupation of Service Family Accommodation at a mid-way point between two
different duty stations (JSP 464), provide Flexible Working and Flexible Service options
to allow for changes in type of engagement and variation in working patterns to assist
with family responsibilities (JSP 760), and gives options for the transfer of annual
leave between partners and shared parental leave (JSP 760). These are supplemented
by other single Service specific policies, as well as a Tri-Service Service Couples
Network which acts as a forum to exchange information and advice.</p>
