Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what formal mechanisms exist for survivors of sexual assault in the Armed Forces to provide feedback on their experience of the investigative and welfare support systems, and how this feedback is used to inform policy.

The Defence Serious Crime Command (DSCC) has a Professional Standards Department where people can raise complaints/concerns in respect of the DSCC and Victim Witness Care Unit. The Service Police Complaints Commissioner also provides oversight of the Service Police complaints process to raise standards in Service policing, and secure trust and confidence in the Service Police complaints system.
