-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many welfare case officers have been appointed in the armed forces to support an individual on the Vulnerable Risk Management (VRM) system; and what changes to the VRM system his Department has made since 2014.
- Answer
-
The information is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
The Suicide Vulnerability Risk Management (SVRM) system is part of a preventative strategy aimed at reducing incidences of suicide in the Army. The Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force have similar systems in place. In late 2013, the Army reviewed the SVRM and identified a requirement for an information system to be developed which captured all those on a care assessment plan, replacing the previous manual system. The Vulnerability Risk Management Information System was rolled out across the Army between November 2014 and September 2015.
