	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2019 answer text <p>Allegations of this type are recorded under the category of bullying and harassment. On average, 10 allegations of bullying and harassment have been made within each of the three previous financial years by members of the Army Cadet Force units in Northern Ireland, although this should not be taken to assume there were 10 in each year; the numbers vary. This will include cadets and all Cadet Force Adult Volunteers (officers, adult instructors and non-uniformed volunteers). To provide the number of allegations made by those holding the rank of Lieutenant and above would be disclosive given the very small number involved.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 14/05/2019 15:19:33 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2019 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is increasingly challenging itself to become a more diverse and inclusive organisation. It recognises that recruitment and inclusion of individuals with diverse skills, perspectives and backgrounds will bring real strength to the organisation. The Defence Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2018 to 2030: A Force for Inclusion was issued by the Secretary of State for Defence in October 2018: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/defence-diversity-and-inclusion-strategy-2018-to-2030-a-force-for-inclusion" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/defence-diversity-and-inclusion-strategy-2018-to-2030-a-force-for-inclusion</a>. This renewed strategy is focused on the delivery of a set of strategic goals and objectives that clearly set out what sort of organisation we want to be in the future: inclusive; appropriately representative of UK society; and a force for inclusion in wider society.</p><p> </p><p>Since the lifting of the ban on LGBT personnel serving in the military in the year 2000, the MOD has welcomed and supported all personnel, irrespective of sexual orientation, actively celebrating and supporting the diversity of all our personnel. Support is available including through LGBT champions, senior LGBT role models, active LGBT networks and over 150 personnel trained by Stonewall as LGBT allies. The single Services (and MOD civilians) took part in the 2018 Stonewall Workplace Equality Index, with all three Services being placed in the Top 100 Employers. In March 2018, for the second year running, the MOD flew the transgender flag to mark Transgender Day of Visibility. The MOD once again flew the rainbow flag from the top of our Main Building, as LGBT Service personnel marched alongside their civilian colleagues at London Pride 2018.</p><p> </p><p>All three Services have a zero-tolerance policy on bullying of all kinds, including homophobic bullying. All military personnel receive mandatory diversity and inclusion training on entry into service and every two years which both educates people on the reasons for positive behaviour, and the options for seeking help when poor behaviours are displayed. The Services have a robust policy for dealing with all bullying, Joint Service Publication 763, a copy of which can be found at the following address: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/jsp-763-the-mod-bullying-and-harassment-complaints-procedures" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/jsp-763-the-mod-bullying-and-harassment-complaints-procedures</a>. Equality and diversity advisors are also embedded within each unit, acting as the first point of call for any personnel subjected to bullying or harassment.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood grouped question UIN 215136 question first answered 05/02/2019 16:30:47 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
