Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what written guidance or briefing material is provided to recruits and officer cadets on acceptable expression of views during training and assessment activities.

All of our Service personnel are expected to uphold the highest standards of behaviour and to adhere to the core values and ethos of the Armed Forces. There is no single piece of written guidance or briefing material to cover these expectations across all the single Services, however they are consistently embedded during Phase 1 training and are made explicitly clear through multiple policy documents.
