Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many complaints about inappropriate sexual behaviour at the Army Foundation College were made between 1 January 2018 and 30 June 2025; and of those complaints, how many were made against (1) staff, and (2) junior soldiers.

There are 176 records on the Joint Personnel Administration (JPA) system of sexual allegations reported between 1 January 2018 and 30 June 2025 where the unit of the accused was Army Foundation College Harrogate. 32 of those allegations were against Permanent Staff and 144 were against Junior Soldiers.

To note regarding the figures provided:

They may include more than one entry per allegation where, for example, a Court Martial has been followed by Major Administrative Action.

The term ‘inappropriate sexual behaviour’ is not a category on JPA, therefore the figures above include all sexual allegations (regardless of outcome).

Recorded cases may include incidents that occurred outside of the Military which are investigated by the civilian police.

These are single Service estimates based on data which is not gathered for statistical purposes or subject to the same level of scrutiny as official statistics produced by Defence Statistics.

The figures may be subject to data quality issues affecting their accuracy. As JPA is a live system the data can be subject to change due to retrospective reporting and data correction.
