Military exercises and the duty of care: follow up inquiry

Inquiry

The Defence Committee published a report, "Beyond Endurance? Military exercises and the duty of care", examining the overarching policies and guidance of the Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces in respect of the health and safety of service personnel during training, exercises and selection events and whether effective processes existed for learning the lessons from accidents and deaths that have occurred during such events.

The Committee indicated when it published the Government Response that it would return to this subject to monitor the MoD's progress on the Committee's conclusions and recommendations and various initiatives outlined by the MoD in its response.
