tabling member constituency	Upper Bann
tabling member printed	David Simpson
uin	135236
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2018 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence ensures that when Armed Forces personnel leave active service they are well supported to translate their acquired skills, experience and qualifications into the second career they aspire to in civilian life. The skills Service leavers possess are in demand from UK employers who recognise the benefits of bringing this talent into their organisation.</p><p>To support this transition the Ministry of Defence has a robust and effective resettlement system in place which utilises the highly successful Career Transition Partnership (CTP). Of the Service personnel who left the UK Armed Forces in 2016/17 and used a billable CTP service, 82% were employed up to six months after leaving Service. The employment rate for Service leavers was higher than the 2016 employment rate for the UK population, at 75%.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 20/04/2018 11:30:44 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

uin	135237
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2018 answer text <p>The Armed Forces Covenant has always applied throughout the UK and its specific implementation will rightly vary according to local and regional factors in the Devolved Administrations. In Northern Ireland, we continue to engage with statutory providers and the charitable sector to ensure the Armed Forces community is not disadvantaged as a result of service.</p><p>Recent and ongoing examples of work to implement the Armed Forces Covenant in Northern Ireland include: the establishment of the Veterans Support Office; the allocation of £300,000 to improve the capacity and capability of Local Authorities and other service providers to apply for Covenant Funding and; supporting the University of Ulster's programme to help better understand the numbers of veterans in Northern Ireland, where they live, the key issues they face and how best to communicate with them.</p><p>These initiatives build on the framework already in place through the bespoke Ulster Defence Regiment and Royal Irish Aftercare Service. Northern Irish members of the Armed Forces Community also benefit from UK-wide initiatives, such as the Veterans' Gateway.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 20/04/2018 11:31:44 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

The Service Pupil Premium provides extra funding to state schools, free schools and academies attended by Service children in England, and the School Admissions Code provides specific measures relating to the school admissions process for Service families.</p><p>The Educational Support Fund (ESF) was only ever intended to be a temporary measure, primarily to aid the drawdown of Armed Forces personnel and their families from Germany, and the Ministry of Defence is currently reviewing whether there is a requirement to extend the ESF. Ongoing support for Service children will continue to be provided by the Service Pupil Premium.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 16/04/2018 16:10:36 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
