LGBT Veterans Independent Review

Details

In January 2022, the government published the ‘Veterans’ Strategy Action Plan: 2022 to 2024’, which committed to “… deliver an independent review into the impact of pre-2000 practices on LGBT veterans”. To deliver this, Defence and the Office for Veterans’ Affairs co-commissioned the LGBT Veterans Independent Review, chaired by Lord Etherton, in 2022.

The review’s final report provides the government with a better understanding of the experiences, impacts and implications of the policy and several recommendations for the government to consider.
