As a mother of two, the thought of watching a beloved child have to go to war sends shivers down my spine.
Under this clear plan, young people will have a choice between a competitive,12-month military placement in a non-combat role or volunteering in a civic service role like a special constable, NHS responder, or supporting flood defence. For both routes, they will receive best-in-class training in critical skills that will set them up well for their own future careers.
As well as the practical skills, volunteering in our public services will give our young people important soft skills which cannot be taught in the classroom or the lecture theatre. The importance of public service. Self-discipline. Coping in stressful situations. Currently, around 750,000 of those aged 18 to 24 are currently not in education, employment, or training. As well as leading to a secure future for all, it will give them the chance to fulfil their potential.
