Protect Rights of UK Humanitarian Workers
To protect the rights of recognised humanitarian workers to access health and education services and benefits on their return from overseas service.
Why is this important?
At present all military personnel and civil servants who work overseas can access every public funded service and benefit as though they have been physically present in the UK. This is a right protected by legislation whereas humanitarian workers face difficulties or are unable to access the same basic benefits and services as home clients because they have not been physically present in the UK. This creates unnecessary hardship for returned humanitarian workers.
