We ask the Government and Ministry of Defence to review British Army recruitment standards, including medical, eyesight and physical requirements. Standards should be evidence-based, transparent and proportionate to each role, with fair appeals and equality protections. Recruitment should also reflect modern specialist roles, including cyber, digital, engineering and communications. The aim is to maintain operational effectiveness while ensuring applicants are assessed fairly and consistently.
