Details

JSP 534: tri-service resettlement policy explains the support available to members of the UK armed forces in making a successful transition from military to civilian life.

This policy was originally released in response to an FOI request for information in February 2008. This version can be found at the UK Government Web Archive.

JSP 534 version 24 was released on 21 March 2025 as simplified policy and procedure documents with reduction of duplication. Some amendments have been made in line with the new Career Transition Partnership (CTP) contract. The overall resettlement policy provision and CTP programmes have not changed.

If you require access to MOD resettlement forms or older versions of this JSP please contact your Service Resettlement Advisor. If you are an employer or training provider, the best way to engage with service leavers is to register your interest through the CTP via MOD CTP.
