Supporting Service Leavers, Veterans and their Families
That this Assembly recognises that the transferable skills developed by many armed forces service leavers and veterans can make an important contribution to our economy and build stronger communities; believes that those serving, service leavers, veterans and their families should not face disadvantage as a result of their military service when accessing services, including healthcare, education, and housing; welcomes, in this context, the legal duty placed on a range of public bodies in Northern Ireland to have due regard to the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant; calls on the Executive to ensure that departments meet this duty, including by appointing a departmental armed forces liaison officer; and further calls for closer collaboration between government, employers, education providers and veterans’ organisations, which is essential to support the successful transition to civilian life, and in the interests of a shared and inclusive society.
