Under the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme, employers support defence personnel and encourage others to do the same. The scheme has three levels, Bronze, Silver and Gold for organisations that pledge, demonstrate and advocate support for Defence and the Armed Forces community.
To achieve Silver, organisations must proactively demonstrate that the Armed Forces community are not unfairly disadvantaged as part of their recruitment policies. They must also actively ensure their workforce is aware of their positive policies towards Defence people issues for Reservists, Veterans, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers and spouses and partners of those serving in the Armed Forces.
Mr Tony Fish, the MoD’s Regional Employer Engagement Director for North Wales said: "I am delighted that we can announce 19 Silver ERS 2024 award winners for Wales."
