Helpline for services

A HELPLINE supporting service personnel has been set up to “stamp out” unacceptable behaviour in the armed forces, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced. Service personnel who experience or witness bullying, harassment or discrimination will be able to contact the helpline.

It comes after Britain’s most senior military officer warned the armed forces must clamp down on the “laddish culture” driving out talented female and minority ethnic personnel.
