Veterans’ Transition Review

The Veterans’ Transition Review was conducted by Lord Ashcroft KCMG PC and published on 11 February 2014.

The aim of the review was to look at the policies, legislation, regulations, guidelines and provisions in place for the government to meet its commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant with respect to veterans’ transition to civilian life, and make recommendations to ensure it is complete and successful.

The Review consulted all those across government responsible for delivering the Covenant, the Covenant Reference Group, the Third Sector, industry and a wide variety of veterans, and invited submissions from all those with a stake in the issue of veterans’ transition.
