Bullying in the military

Unfortunately bullying is not restricted to new recruits. Bullying and harassment is rife throughout the armed forces in an environment that often encourages a feeling of isolation, and is a breeding ground for the culture of abuse. We act for members of the armed forces who have been bullied whilst carrying out their duties whether in this country or abroad. We will advise you about the best way to claim compensation for the abuse you have suffered.
