Yours sincerely, XXXXXXXX Army Secretariat JSP 834 Safeguarding Service Children and Young People Part 1: Directive JSP 834 Pt 1 (V4.0 May 15) Foreword People lie at the heart of operational capability; attracting and retaining the right numbers of capable, motivated individuals to deliver Defence outputs is critical. This is dependent upon maintaining a credible and realistic offer that earns and retains the trust of people in Defence. In order to achieve this, all personnel must be confident that, not only will they be treated fairly, but also that their families will be treated properly and that Service veterans and their dependants will be respected and appropriately supported. The Safeguarding of our Service children and young people, which includes those Service personnel under the age of 18, is a priority for all MOD Services and agencies that work with or have contact with children and young people. These procedures are underpinned by Working Together to Safeguard Children (March 2013), which sets out what should happen in any local area when a child or young person is believed to be in need of support. Effective safeguarding arrangements should aim to meet two key principles; they should be child centred and they should recognise that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. These procedures have been written so as to be part of the wider good of improving the wellbeing of children, and of achieving the above key principles. JSP 834 promulgates the policy requirements and comprehensive practical guidance for the safeguarding of Service children and young people. Lieutenant General Andrew Gregory Chief of Defence People Defence Authority for People i JSP 834 Pt 1 (V4.0 May 15) Preface How to use this JSP 1. JSP 834 is intended as a comprehensive framework for the safeguarding of Service children and young people. It is the intention that this JSP will be reviewed annually. 2. The JSP is structured in two parts: a. Part 1 - Directive, which provides the direction that must be followed in accordance with statute or policy mandated by Defence or on Defence by Central Government. b. Part 2 - Guidance, which provides advice, information and examples of best practice to assist the user to comply with the Directive(s) detailed in Part 1. 3. When reading this JSP it is important to note that the word ‘must’ is used to denote requirements mandated by law in England and Wales, the word ‘should’ is used to reflect requirements mandated by policy and the word ‘may’ provides discretion for the interpretation of policy. 4. Where the word ‘professional’ appears, it applies to all staff employed to implement safeguarding procedures and practices whether they are MOD Service and civilian personnel, single Service welfare staff, Unit Welfare Officers (UWO), organisations and agencies such as SSAFA, and the British Forces Social Work Services (BFSWS), Service Children’s Education (SCE) staff, Children’s Education Advisory Service (CEAS) staff, Service police and health workers. 5. This document cannot be totally comprehensive and, if there is any doubt, advice should always be sought from the Director CYP, Single Service Specialist Welfare Services, and/or the MOD approved social care provider’s named lead for Social Care Services, Director Social Work SSAFA or departmental legal advisers. 6. Further guidance in all areas of safeguarding can be found in the DfE’s Working Together to Safeguard Children 2013 (WTSC130 published by DCSF in 2013: https:// www.gov.uk/government/publications/working-together-to-safeguard-children Coherence with other Defence Authority Policy and Guidance 7. Where applicable, this document contains links to other relevant JSPs, some of which may be published by different Defence Authorities. Where particular Defence dependencies exist, these other Defence Authorities have been consulted in the formulation of the policy and guidance detailed in this publication. This JSP also references wider Government policy.

License: Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives Unless otherwise stated, copyright owned by the author 1 Help for Heroes: From organizational discourse to a new orthodoxy Introduction This article traces the development of the UK charity for military veterans, Help for Heroes, since its foundation in 2007 and reflects on the effect of its organizational discourse on civic perception of the military. Alongside the increased visibility of military motifs, symbols and rituals in the civic sphere around 2007, the project contends that the organizational discourse of Help for Heroes made a significant contribution to the emergence of a new orthodoxy of veterans as heroes, and that this discursive legacy (Coy et al., 2008: 61) permeated society to exist as part of a wider meta-narrative. Because of the project’s interest in the societal and institutional effects of Help for Heroes discourse, theoretical work in the fields of organizational institutionalism and institutional work was used to frame the inquiry and also informed the methodology adopted. An investigation into the public relations aspects of veteran culture and its effect on civic-military discourse is timely because of its relation to nationalistic politics.
