Armed Forces: Surveys
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will publish data from the UK Regular Armed Forces Continuous Attitude Survey illustrating the Impact of Service life on family and personal life as a factor influencing intentions to leave, by (a) service and (b) rank.
- Answer
-
The Armed Forces Continuous Attitude Survey (AFCAS) includes a breakdown of this factor by Service and split into Officers and Other Ranks/Rates in Section 12, Table 8 of the Annex B Reference tables: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/armed-forces-continuous-attitude-survey-2023
Responses are weighted by rank and Service. This accounts for bias caused by disproportionate stratified sampling and differing levels of response so results are representative of our Regular Armed Forces. We do not currently provide a breakdown of AFCAS results by the specific ranks in the Armed Forces. This is due, in part, to smaller response numbers being potentially less robust and disclosive.
