	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2017 answer text <p>Yes, Service leavers who are being, or are likely to be, medically discharged are entitled to all elements of the Core Resettlement Programme (CRP) plus the Specialist Support Programme (SSP) which are provided by the Ministry of Defence's (MOD) Career Transition Partnership (CTP) with Right Management Ltd (the delivery contractor).</p><p>The CRP provides access to vocational training so that transferable skills which Service leavers develop during their time in the Armed Forces are accredited to equivalent civilian qualifications. The CRP can also be used to gain new skills and qualifications.</p><p>The SSP is a vocational assessment and gives access to a specialist employment consultant who helps to create a bespoke resettlement plan. This specialist resettlement pathway (CTP Assist) delivers an individually tailored, needs based service to those Service personnel who face the greatest barriers to employment given their medical condition. The MOD provides funding and other support to enable access to required training.</p><p>The MOD recognises that medically discharged Service leavers often need longer in resettlement than other leavers to achieve vocational success. Since February 2013, all medically discharging personnel and those assessed as likely to medically discharge, can start resettlement as soon as it is appropriate for the individual. For those who are not able to undertake resettlement activities because of their medical condition, it is possible to defer resettlement for up to two years after discharge and, in extreme cases resettlement provision may be transferred to the spouse, civil partner or a nominated proxy of the Service leaver.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 26/07/2017 10:33:38 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2022 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence provides all Service leavers with resettlement support. This is designed to help personnel leaving the Armed Forces prepare for civilian life, including a successful transition to employment, self-employment or a wider vocational outcome such as education, retirement or working with Third Sector organisations, tailored to the wishes of the individual.</p><p>Resettlement support is available from two years prior to leaving and two years after discharge. The provision entitles Service leavers to duty time, financial assistance and access to Career Transition Partnership (CTP) Services. The CTP provision includes workshops, seminars, career consultancy, resettlement training advice and vocational training, together with job finding support.</p><p>From 31 May 2022, all Service leavers have been automatically registered with CTP and can only opt-out by informing their CTP career consultant. In the event that a Service leaver has opted out of CTP services but wishes to use their entitlements to CTP provision, they may do so by contacting the CTP direct at any point up to two years post-discharge.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 30/11/2022 15:02:10 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
