Review of the Armed forces continuous attitude survey 2015
Detail of outcome
The MOD has considered the responses generated through the review and has contacted all of the individual stakeholders with suggested alternatives to fully address the research parameters highlighted. Though the suggestions and recommendations offered via the consultation process yielded valuable insights; however, quite a few were outside the scope of a standard continuous attitudinal survey. For those suggestions that were within the scope of the survey, a small number of changes have been made to the survey as a result of the concerns raised particularly from Oxford Brookes.
The next AFCAS review is scheduled for 2019; however, some small scale changes may be made in advance of this review.
Feedback received
Detail of feedback received
AFCAS 2015 review consultation primarily sought to investigate the impact of the proposed changes (to the survey) on related key outputs of external primary data users. Majority of suggestions and recommendations generated from the consultation were not necessarily on the changes made to the survey (with the exception of Oxford Brookes) but were for additional areas to be investigated in more depth. Therefore quite a few of these suggestions were considered beyond the scope of the AFCAS.

The Armed forces continuous attitude survey (AFCAS) is an annual survey and is one of the main ways the department gathers information on the views and experiences of our armed forces personnel.
