The MoD has removed Agency status from the three Armed Forces training agencies to streamline the training regime, the Under Secretary of State for Defence, Don Touhig MP announced today.
These changes aim to promote a more coherent approach to training, increase efficiency and release resources for front-line training.
The three Agencies - the Naval Recruiting and Training Agency (NRTA), the Army Recruiting and Training Agency (ATRA) and the RAF Training Group Defence Agency (TGDA) - have now become an integral part of their respective Service.
This is an important first step in delivering training elements on a tri-Service basis as part of the Defence Training Review (DTR).
Mr Touhig said:
"We take our duty of care responsibilities very seriously. The well being of our trainees is fundamental to the core values and standards of the Armed Forces and the establishments responsible for training them.
"These changes will promote a more coherent approach to training, and will bring about greater efficiencies, including increased customer focus, clarity of outputs and objectives, strong performance management and visibility of targets and performance.
"The changes will have no impact on current initiatives to improve the arrangements for the care and wellbeing of recruits. They are part of a package of measures that seek to improve all aspects of individual training."
