Survey: Armed Forces paternity leave

← Back

Thank you for your response. ✨

I’m looking for serving, or recently served, Armed Forces personnel to tell me about their experiences of paternity leave, how current provision has impacted their family life and how it affects their working life.

I’d also love to hear from anyone in the Armed Forces who is considering paternity leave in the near future and their partners.


Tell me about your experiences of paternity leave and the Armed Forces. You could include:

  • How much leave you were allowed to take and how much you ended up taking.
  • Whether you felt encouraged to take it.
  • How you feel this affected your relationship with your child.

You’re welcome to submit this anonymously but it would be really helpful if I could follow up with a few extra questions by email. Please leave your name and email address if you’d be happy for me to do this:
