The number of off-payroll appointees engaged through other arrangements (ie, as fee earners, consultancy or locally by exception) could be provided only at disproportionate cost. Contingent Labour is generally engaged on a temporary basis to fill vacant, funded posts until recruitment action is taken to appoint a salaried permanent member of staff. Included in this category are temporary admin and clerical workers, interim managers, and specialist contractors (in finance, HR, IT and other functions).<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Information about the MOD\u2019s senior payroll appointees (ie, those engaged for over £220 a day for more than six months) and those of its Arm\u2019s Length Bodies has been published in the MOD's Annual Reports and Accounts since the 2012-13 Financial Year.<\/p> <\/p> Access to certain forms of private-sector expertise is of enduring value to us as it does not make economic sense to maintain all the specialist skills we need permanently in-house. However we are seeking to ensure that we benefit from external expertise through skills transfer to our own staff wherever possible to help make us more self-reliant and resilient in the longer term. The current number of off-payroll appointments reflects the need to bring in, for the short term, specialist skills which cannot be found among the permanent workforce to help us implement the Levene reforms across Defence.<\/p>"}

Where an allegation of domestic violence is made to the Service police and they retain jurisdiction, they will investigate the matter fully; or, if an allegation is being investigated by the Civil police, the Service police will provide assistance as required. However, domestic violence is not a crime classification, but can be recorded under the crime classification of violence; for example battery, assault or grievous bodily harm. For the Service police to establish which of such recorded offences are as a result of domestic violence would require an individual review of all cases, which could be provided only at disproportionate cost.<\/p>"}
