Reserve Forces Training and Mobilisation Policy Consultation

Overview

A consultation is currently taking place on the council’s newly developed Reserve Forces Training and Mobilisation policy.

East Lothian Council recognises the valuable contribution that Reservists make to the UK Armed Forces, their communities and the civilian workplace and has pledged support. This policy outlines the council’s commitment to support Reservists to attend training and when they are called up to supplement the regular Armed Forces.

The policy provides detailed information including processes and arrangements for training, mobilisation, pay, pension, accrual of leave and return to work.
