Work is ongoing following the Chancellor\u2019s announcement in the Autumn statement requiring Departments to cap Civil Service headcount and then reduce to 2019 levels.<\/p>

<\/p>

By 2028, we need a refocused Civil Service workforce which will undertake prioritised projects through agile, skilled, and right sized teams who are delivering \u2018what really matters\u2019. We will create an environment where we are empowered, included, and recognised for who we are and what we do.<\/p>

<\/p>

Defence Design is driving system change to unlock a more effective and productive environment which in turn will enable this change in the workforce.<\/p>

<\/p>

Our civil servants play an essential role in delivering Defence outcomes and we hope that by utilising opportunities for process redesign, digitisation, corporate service modernisation and prioritisation that we can achieve better outcomes and accelerate the changes to our ways of working which are required to achieve a smaller, more productive and more agile civilian workforce.<\/p>

      The number and detected values of fraud listed below for each financial year represent the categories provided in Question 21551. The total detected fraud values vary slightly from those provided in the letter on 27 February, reference 3427, because the assessed detected value of fraud can change as a case progresses. Since 2010, the information capture requirement has evolved with reporting needs; this is most evident following a review undertaken in 2020.<\/p>

      The number and detected values of fraud listed below for each financial year represent the categories provided in Question 21551. The total detected fraud values vary slightly from those provided in the letter on 27 February, reference 3427, because the assessed detected value of fraud can change as a case progresses. Since 2010, the information capture requirement has evolved with reporting needs; this is most evident following a review undertaken in 2020.<\/p>

      The Ministry of Defence (MOD) as a caring employer has a comprehensive range of policies and resources in place to support families during the most difficult of times.<\/p>

      <\/p>

      With regards to accommodation, Joint Service Publication 464: Tri-Service Accommodation Regulations, makes provision for bereaved families to remain in Service Family Accommodation (SFA) for up to two years following the death of a Service person. It is normal to issue a 93 Day Notice to Vacate when two years is reached but retention of SFA may be extended beyond the two-year period on a discretionary case by case basis.<\/p>

      <\/p>

      The Purple Pack bereavement guide for families of service personnel who die in service is provided by the MOD. A routine review of the pack is underway, with a view to publication in summer 2024. The Purple Pack is supplemented and supported by documentation provided by each of the Services, for example, the Army Families Guide.<\/p>

      <\/p>

      The Purple Pack is provided for immediate adult family members. Information is provided for adults to support and manage bereaved children, including signposting to relevant charities and organisations.<\/p>

      <\/p>

      The Defence Bereaved Families Group meets twice a year in Spring and Autumn. In the past five years it has met ten times. The next meeting will be in September 2024, with the exact date yet to be confirmed. The Minister for Defence People and Families does not routinely attend the meeting, but he attended in September 2023 and regularly receives briefings from the Chair and co-Chair.<\/p>

      <\/p>

      Visiting Officers (VO) are an integral part of the support provided by Defence to bereaved families. VO are provided by each Service and undertake training relevant to their role. The Royal Navy (RN) has 60 personnel trained as VO, the Army has 1,390 and the Royal Air Force (RAF) has 1,103.<\/p>

      <\/p>

      Each Service runs training courses that meet their specific requirements, for personnel designated as a VO. For example, all RN VO are either Specialist Welfare Worker trained, having completed the Defence Specialist Welfare Worker Course (a Level Five Social Care training course specifically for the care of service personnel and their families), or Civil Service Social Workers registered with Social Work England (or equivalent devolved UK registration). In addition, all must attend and pass the RN Family & People Support VO training every three years.<\/p>

      <\/p>

      For the Army, formal, in person training is provided for those conducting both Casualty Notification Officer and VO duties. The training competency is extant for four years; if not appointed within that time frame a one-day refresher course can be conducted to enable another four years competency. The Army\u2019s recommended minimum provision of VO is set at ten for Regular major units, three for Regular minor units, and two for Reserve units.<\/p>

      <\/p>

      The RAF VO competency is awarded after completion of a workshop and remains current for four years after which volunteers must attend another briefing day to renew it. Units are expected to aim for 2-5% of their trained strength to have the VO competency.<\/p>

      <\/p>

      There is no fixed period of time during which a VO will provide support to a bereaved family. This is dependent upon circumstances but normally would not extend beyond an Inquest or Service Inquiry. Appropriate transition plans will be put in place including arrangements for ongoing support to be provided through a point of contact from either the relevant single Service aftercare cell or unit HR staff.<\/p>

      <\/p>

      Via DBS\u2019s Veterans Welfare Service (VWS), Defence also provides support to the bereaved via its national network of welfare managers (WM). A WM is assigned to families who experience a death in service and usually attends the initial visit alongside the VO. Support from VWS then endures for as long as is required and focuses on access to financial, welfare and wellbeing support as required, including issues in relation to the Armed Forces Pension. WMs who support clients in such circumstances are specifically trained and supervised as part of a VWS experts\u2019 group. VWS is part of the Defence Bereaved Families Group.<\/p>
