The audit report flags up “many areas of good practice” at AFC Harrogate. The auditors heard concerns from staff over the discipline of junior soldiers (JS) and restrictions on penalties they could impose. Junior soldiers arriving at the college with good numeracy and literacy found lessons “boring, uninspiring and lacking any meaningful differentiation,” the report said. Rachel Taylor, director of programmes at Child Soldiers International, said the audit report showed what recruits and instructors really felt. It said: “The IAP is confident that the duty of care to junior soldiers is actively embedded throughout the college.”
