campaign governance

Due to the sensitive nature of this campaign and the ethical protocols which are required for dealing with indigenous communities, veterans and their families, we have designed a governance document which we will ask all partners to understand.

The governance must be understood and followed to ensure that the campaign is a success and that everyone involved is working towards the same goal and that all references to the campaign are authorised.

MISSING MEDICAL RECORDS REVIEW

On the 15th July 2026, the Ministry of Defence published its findings after a 19-month investigation into the Missing Medical Records. Despite months of work and weekly meetings with LABRATS, the UK Government decided not to publish the recommendations alongside the report. They claim this was due to the change in Administration and a new Prime Minister. You can view and analyse the documents using a special LABRATS published collection on Google Pinpoint. 

Representatives from LABRATS viewed the documents before publication but were incredibly disappointed that the recommendations were not published and that a written statement was produced, rather than an oral statement to the house. By submitting a written statement, the government avoided scrutiny from MP's.

MINVPFeedback

On the 10th August 2026, representatives from LABRATS met with the Minister for Veterans' & People and the Office for Veterans' Affairs. A representative from Number 10 was also present.

Due to the summer recess and holidays, progress on the recommendations and the special tribunal has been slow. We expressed our disappointment and have written to the Defence Secretary and spoken to Number 10.

The Minister asked us for community feedback, so please fill in this form so we can provide it to him. Please express your feelings and do not hold back. You can remain anonymous, but please fill in your connection to the community (Veteran, Descendant, Wife, Widow etc.)

Give us your feedback

All feedback will be sent to the Minister for Veterans' & People
