Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 3 of JSP 763 entitled Behaviours and informal complaint resolution Part 1 (Directive), if he will publish the civilian formal bullying, harassment, and discrimination complaint process.

Although some Service and wholeforce (covering both Service personnel and civilian employees) policy and procedure documents are published externally, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not routinely publish civilian-only policy and procedure documents externally. This is in line with many other government departments' approach. The MOD has no plans to change this approach.
