Defence Equipment & Support: Staff

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 11 of the Defence Equipment and Support Annual Report and Accounts 2022-23, what steps he has taken to encourage staff to voice concerns.

Answer

I have personally expressed the importance of ensuring staff felt able to voice concerns at a DE&S “Town Hall” meeting in November 2023.

As well as speaking to their management chain, staff have a number of formal and informal routes to raise behaviour which falls outside our values, including the MOD Helpline, the Employee Assistance Programme and in-house mediation service.
