Armed Forces: Sexual Harassment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to help protect female members of the armed forces from sexual harassment.
Answered by Al Carns
Sexual Harassment has no place in our Armed Forces.
Every individual must be treated with dignity and respect.
We have a Zero Tolerance policy in Defence – unacceptable behaviour of any kind is not tolerated people will be held accountable.
All criminal behaviour is investigated by the Service police and those found to be below the standard will be met with sanctions, including Termination of Service.
