New Defence Domestic Abuse Action Plan 2024-2029
As an employer, Defence has a moral and legal duty of care for our personnel. But we also recognise a responsibility that extends beyond that, as articulated in the Armed Forces Covenant, that those who serve or have served, and their families, should be treated fairly. This plan reiterates Defence’s commitment to create and maintain an environment that does not tolerate domestic abuse and raises awareness of the work taking place to tackle domestic abuse within the Defence community.
You can access the plan via this link: No defence for abuse: Domestic Abuse Action Plan 2024-2029 (publishing.service.gov.uk)
