Armed Forces: Vetting
(asked on 8th June 2022) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many members of the Armed Forces have been subject to an Employment Suitability Risk Assessment each year since 2010.
This question was answered on 13th June 2022
The Armed Forces do not have a singular "Employment Suitability Risk Assessment". This is neither a recognised term nor a policy or process that exists within the Armed Forces.
Risk and suitability within the Armed Forces are assessed in a variety of ways which include, but are not limited to, annual training tests, medical fitness tests, security vetting, and pre-deployment assessments.
