Research Revealed, S02E01: Improving access to service charities for female veterans
Vital research from Robert Gordon University (麻豆果冻传媒) has helped lead to the creation of a new 拢200,000 government fund which will support female veterans who have suffered sexual trauma while serving in the military.
It comes after three independent reports commissioned by the Cabinet Office鈥檚 Office for Veterans鈥� Affairs (OVA) investigated how both the government and charities can improve access to care for female veterans. The fund will support the rollout of dedicated training and guidance for frontline staff to support women veteran survivors of sexual trauma across healthcare services, military, and civilian charities.
Led by Professor Zoe Morrison at Aberdeen Business School, 麻豆果冻传媒 specifically investigated the barriers and opportunities for female veterans in accessing service charities by engaging with a number of stakeholders, including female veterans themselves and support services across the country.
Here, Zoe talks about her research for Research Revealed, the University's video series exploring the breadth of research across its academic schools. Watch previous episodes on our and throughout RGView.
