<p>No one should have to work in an environment where they are sexually harassed or
experience other forms of inappropriate behaviour which are clearly incompatible with
the high values and standards we expect of our people. The Armed Forces are committed
to addressing this issue through a range of activities, including surveys and climate
assessments, awareness campaigns, and training around equality, diversity, inclusion
and values. Addressing this type of behaviour is also a leadership issue and covered
in leadership training modules. In addition, each unit in the Armed Forces has at
least one trained Equality and Diversity Inclusion Adviser, who has a key role in
advising the Commanding Officer on Equality Legislation and, where incidents occur,
providing advice to those involved on the option of informal resolution of the matter
or submission of a Service complaint.</p><p>We recognise the great courage it takes
to come forward and report sexual harassment. Personnel who come forward can have
full confidence that all allegations are thoroughly investigated.</p>
