answer text <p>The Government believes that the country owes a particular debt of gratitude to those Service personnel who suffer life-changing injuries.<br><br>The Ministry of Defence therefore continues to improve the support that it offers to such personnel. In particular we now operate a Seriously Injured Leavers Protocol (SIL) which aims to ensure the identification of and ongoing support for, those Service leavers deemed likely to be medically discharged due to a severe physical or mental disablement.<br><br>This identification is based upon defined major disabling medical criteria, whilst the support is organised through the closer working of MOD in-Service and post Service welfare groups. The MOD’s Veterans Welfare Service proactively intervenes for 24 months and then maintains contact as required but at least yearly on the anniversary of discharge. Full details of the SIL protocol are available at the following website: http://www.veterans-uk.info/welfare/protocol_new.html</p> more like this

answer text <p>Responsibility for action to tackle child maltreatment and respond to the needs of vulnerable children rests primarily with local government, alongside other local agencies, including health services and the police. This work is co-ordinated by local safeguarding children boards. Our statutory guidance, ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children’<em>, </em>sets the framework within which local agencies should work on a multi-agency basis to safeguard children. Ofsted inspects local authority services for children in need of help and protection, and inspections focus on the quality of these services, including whether the right decisions are made for young people and whether they are made at the right time.</p> more like this
