The Haythornthwaite Review is a generational independent review. Its recommendations relate to policies and processes across a complex system of incentivisation and support. The Department committed in June, within the Defence Command Paper Refresh, to taking forward the recommendations. A formal Government Response, which will provide more detail on our approach to tackling each recommendation, will be published in early 2024. This will confirm which recommendations have been - or are in the process of being – delivered.

Priorities for the coming months include designing the first elements of a trial to explore a ‘Total Reward Approach’, exploring flexible terms and conditions of service through the development of a ‘Spectrum of Service’ and the optimisation of the myriad of policies and processes that support our people.
