It is important to the MOD that we hear people's views on defence matters. This helps to inform our policies and keep us in tune with public thinking and concerns. We carry out occasional public opinion research to this end.
Results from our central corporate research on public attitudes to defence, commissioned by our Corporate Communications division, are published on our website and included in the reputation section of our annual performance report and accounts. Other parts of the Department—particularly the service recruiting organisations—also conduct occasional public research in support of their business objectives.
