Supporting Ethnic Minorities in the UK Armed Forces - A Soft Systems Approach,

Abstract

In 1998, a three year research programme focusing on ethnic minorities (EMs) in the UK Armed Forces (AFs) was initiated at the Defence Evaluation Research Agency Centre for Human Sciences (DERA CHS). The programme of work is funded by Technology Group 5 (Human Sciences and Synthetic Environments) of the MoD's Corporate Research Programme. Supporting ethnic minorities is a key issue for all three Services and in recent years has been recognised as a priority issue. As a starting point to this three year work programme, DERA CHS held a workshop in May 1998 to identify the concerns and issues relating to the recruitment, selection and retention of EMs in the AFs and to identify future research initiatives.
