The changes ensure family circumstances are better reflected when future assignments are considered. If your family has caring responsibilities, additional needs, disabilities or health considerations, encourage your Service person to check their JPA record is up to date. 2/2

JPA now allows personnel to record multiple welfare considerations. AFF has long highlighted that Service families may have more than one, but JPA has only allowed a single consideration. We're pleased to see this feedback has been acted upon. aff.org.uk/news/changes-to-j… 1/2

Preparedness and resilience are at the heart of Exercise Cambrian Patrol, but they aren’t just military responsibilities. Government, industry, academia, communities and citizens all have a part to play in making sure we’re ready for the challenges ahead.

Army chaplains support personnel through every stage of life. Recently, an Army family celebrated their daughter's #baptism surrounded by family, godparents and the worshipping community.  Led by Padre Pritchard, the service was filled with joy, song and a special liturgy. 🙏
