BYM and ForcesWatch in joint statement

Britain Yearly Meeting joins ForcesWatch in criticising a recent government resource for schools

Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) has joined charity ForcesWatch in criticising a recent government resource for schools, that they feel promotes ‘military values’.

The organisations used a written report and a graphic to argue that the British Armed Forces Learning Resource (published in September 2014 by the prime minister’s office) is a poor quality educational resource. They believe that it is a politically-driven attempt to promote recruitment into the armed forces.
