Armed Forces: Psychology

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether his Department has developed online resources to improve psychological (a) testing and (b) training in the armed forces.
Answer

The Ministry of Defence uses a variety of methods for providing briefing and instruction on mental health issues, including paper-based questionnaires and face-to-face assessment and instruction, as well as online resources where these are appropriate and available. As improved online systems are developed, we will consider making increased use of them when assessed to be the most suitable means of provision.
