The Strategy for our Veterans: Valued. Contributing. Supported.

Abstract: This Strategy sets an enduring Vision and Principles for the whole of the UK and is applicable across all sectors of life: public, corporate, charitable and individual. There are five cross-cutting factors that provide a backdrop to the overall system of Veterans service provision as well as six identified key themes. For each of the cross-cutting factors and key themes there is an outcome for 2028 towards which all nations will work to deliver. The four nations across the UK will collaborate to deliver this Strategy, in recognition of the importance of Veterans in all communities. This document includes work taken forward by the UK Government, Scottish Government and Welsh Government. This Strategy has a 10 year scope to 2028. Through the 10 year timescale, the Strategy addresses the immediate needs of older Veterans as well as setting the right conditions for society to empower - and support - the newer generation. Initiatives and proposals will work towards an enduring Vision articulated by three key principles.
