The number of personal data incidents that have been correctly reported to the Army Warning Advice and Reporting Point (WARP) that have affected Defence Children Services schools and settings since 2010 and the number of affected individuals that have been affected by personal data incidents related to Defence Children Services schools and settings in each year since 2010 is as below:
Incidents | Affected Individuals | |
2010 | 0 | 0 |
2011 | 0 | 0 |
2012 | 0 | 0 |
2013 | 0 | 0 |
2014 | 0 | 0 |
2015 | 0 | 0 |
2016 | 1 | 61 |
2017 | 0 | 0 |
2018 | 0 | 0 |
2019 | 2 | 270 |
2020 | 1 | 1 |
2021 | 3 | 4184 |
2022 | 6 | 21 |
2023 | 9 | 459 |
2024 | 2 | 29 |
Totals | 24 | 5025 |
This data has been taken from Blackthorn Defence Incident Management Database (BT DIMDb) (which is directly fed by the Security Incident Reporting Forms (SIRFs) used across Defence) and the Army WARP Security Incident Database (SID).
It is not possible to split the affected individuals down into the categories stipulated in this question as that distinction is not made during reporting or investigation. It should also be noted that the number of people impacted is determined during the course of the investigation.
The 2021 figures include a major investigation into a cyber incident at a single school, which resulted in the potential compromise of 1110 internal (Ministry of Defence) email addresses and 3070 external (personal) email addresses.

Approximately 10% of the Senior Responsible Officer’s (SRO) programmed meeting time was spent on the Recruiting Partnering Project in the last 12 months, alongside their other duties. This is the only programme for which they are the SRO. The SRO is supported by a team who focus on the Recruiting Partnering Project full time.

Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Answer of 25 July 2023 to Question 194671, what his Department's recruitment targets for the armed forces are for 2024-25.
Answered by Andrew Murrison
Recruitment targets for Regular Serving personnel in 2024-25 currently are summarised below:
Royal Navy
Officers 450
Sailors 2,864
Army
Officers 677
Soldiers 9,800
Royal Air Force
Officers 462
Aviators 2,615
In my answers to Questions 7264, 8358, 12118 and 17290, I incorrectly stated that there were no recruitment targets for officers.
I have therefore provided below the historic Army recruitment targets for officers, as contained within the Recruiting Partnering Project (RPP) Demand Plan. The Plan reflects the number of personnel that Capita are directed to recruit annually. The figures include Direct Entrants and Professionally Qualified Officers.
The RPP started in 2012. Please note that data pre-dating 2014 could not be accessed in the time available.
Year | OF Reg | OF Res |
14-15 | 709 | 362 |
15-16 | 742 | 368 |
16-17 | 747 | 318 |
17-18 | 713 | 372 |
18-19 | 696 | 241 |
19-20 | 713 | 315 |
20-21 | 700 | 230 |
21-22 | 688 | 125 |
22-23 | 610 | 220 |
23-24 | 644 | 220 |
In relation to the question asking for the target for recruitment of officers into the British Army for each of the first three quarters in the 2023-24 financial year; please note that OF in-year targets are based on the intakes to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS), of which there are three a year. The following reflects the target by intake, rather than quarter.
RY | Target |
RY23 1 | 152 |
RY23 2 | 227 |
RY23 3 | 152 |
