Unit Welfare Support
Primary-level support can be given by Commanding Officers, their Chain of Command and the unit administrative and welfare staff including pastoral and medical personnel. Unit welfare specialists will identify, advise, assist, and refer Service Personnel and their families based on their welfare needs.
Trained Unit specialists include:
- Unit Welfare Officers and Unit Welfare Warrant Officers/Senior Non-Commissioned Officers of Regular Army units that form a Unit Welfare Team.
- Regimental Operations Support Officers and Regimental Operations Support Warrant Officers in Reserve Army units.
- Regimental Career Management Officers.
- Army and/or civilian Chaplains.
- Regimental Medical Officers.
- WRVS and HIVE (where available).
Follow the link below to find out more information on Unit Welfare Team locations.
Shortly an interactive map will be installed to increase awareness of Unit Welfare Team locations. This will enable Service Personnel and their families to access welfare information and support irrespective of location; either through their parent unit or the nearest Regular or Reserve welfare facility.
Service Personnel and their families are encouraged to seek practical help and advice at the earliest opportunity through the Chain of Command or directly through unit welfare staff.
Unit Welfare Teams also maintain a close working relationship with specialist welfare organisations granting suitable access where required.
