A fresh set of guidelines has been released for personnel who believe they’ve been the subject of a sexual harassment or assault.
The Victim Support Pathway: Sexual Offences scheme provides a clear and comprehensive, explanation of how individuals can find out what their options are, and the best route for getting help. ABN 050/2025 gives direction to units, links to posters providing advice and details of a dedicated website.
“This is a vital initiative that empowers people to choose their own route to recovery,” Lt Col Andy Thackway (RLC), from the unacceptable behaviours team in the personnel directorate at Army Headquarters, told Soldier.
“It brings clarity, compassion, access to trusted internal and external support and proven pathways that prioritise safety, dignity and informed choice.
“This is not just a resource; it is a commitment to care, resilience and justice for every individual affected by sexual violence.”
