SECTION 2
The position of WRVS Services Welfare
within the welfare system of the Armed Forces
WRVS Services Welfare is a primary welfare agency.
Whilst retaining civilian status, WRVS is committed to supporting
the CO by offering an impartial view on any welfare issues that
would require the attention of the CO or the welfare team.
Although Services Welfare is a uniformed service;
this is worn to assist the recruit in identifying the SWO. There
are two types of uniform currently used, one formal for pass out
parades etc. and one casual for daily wear in clubs.
We have identified that our services are sought
by considerably more RAF Phase Two female recruits in tri service
locations, than their counterparts in the Army. An explanation
for this could be that during their Phase One training WRVS SWOs
do not exist and the recruits appear to appreciate the support
available to them in these Phase Two locations.
