Petition Remove ban on people with certain mental health conditions joining military
Review and modernise Armed Forces medical entry standards to allow ALL individuals with well-managed mental health conditions to be considered eligible for service through case-by-case assessments rather than automatic permanent disqualification.
More details
Because we think many people with well-managed mental health conditions could be fully capable of serving and are unfairly excluded due to having certain conditions. We think modern understanding of mental health supports individual assessment, not blanket bans, which could allow motivated, stable individuals the chance to contribute.
