1 Military Service Offences DRAFT INTRODUCTION Purpose of Instruction 1.1 This section explains how criminality should be considered in applications for settlement or nationality from those seeking to regularise their stay in the UK after discharge from the British Armed Forces. Military Offences 1.2 Offences against military service law are set out in the Armed Forces Act 2006 and fall into two categories: Criminal conduct offences; and Non criminal conduct (disciplinary) offences 1.3 A criminal conviction imposed under service law should be considered in the same way as one imposed by a civilian court. 1.4 A non-criminal conviction should not be considered in the same way, but may be taken into account in wider considerations of character and conduct. What is recorded on the Police National Computer (PNC)? 1.5 All convictions for criminal conduct offences are recorded on the PNC (see 2.2) 1.6 In addition, convictions for non-criminal conduct (disciplinary) offences listed in Schedule 1 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (Armed Forces Order 2009) (Recordable Service Offences) are recorded on the PNC. (See These should not be treated in the same way as criminal convictions when considering an application. 1.7 Other convictions for non-criminal conduct (disciplinary) offences should not be recorded on the PNC. If they do appear in error, or are disclosed by an applicant, they should be disregarded for UKBA purposes. 2. CRIMINAL CONDUCT OFFENCES How to treat a criminal conduct offence 2.1 A military criminal conduct offence covers any offence which would be recognised as an offence under civilian criminal law in England and Wales. The most common military criminal conduct offences are grievous bodily harm, common assault and battery, criminal damage, road traffic offences, and fraud. These offences are all charged in the Service Justice System as offences against section 42 of the Armed Forces Act. 2.2 Section 42 covers two main types of conduct. First, any conduct which is punishable under the criminal law of England and Wales (generally conduct taking place in England and Wales). Second, conduct outside the UK, which broadly
2 speaking would be punishable under the criminal law of England and Wales had it been committed in England or Wales. How a criminal conduct offence appears on the PNC 2.3 An example of how a criminal conduct offence would appear on the PNC record is: COMMITTING A CRIMINAL CONDUCT OFFENCE CONTRARY TO SECTION 42 OF THE ARMED FORCES ACT 2006 NAMELY SECTION 47 OF THE OFFENCES AGAINST THE PERSON ACT 1861 NAMELY ASSAULT OCCASIONING ACTUAL BODILY HARM. Discretion for minor offences to be disregarded 2.4 Some low-level offences are dealt with by minor punishments in line with the Armed Forces (Minor Punishments and Limitation on Power to Reduce in Rank) Regulations Single criminal conduct offences which have attracted the following sentences should be disregarded as a conviction: Restriction of Privileges, Stoppage of Leave ; or Admonition 2.6 However, if an applicant has multiple minor punishments, particularly over a short period of time, this should be considered in line with the general requirements of character, conduct and associations under paragraph 322(5) of the rules (for settlement) or good character requirements for nationality. 3. NON-CRIMINAL CONDUCT (DISCIPLINARY) OFFENCES How to treat a non-criminal conduct (disciplinary) offence 3.1 The Armed Forces have particular requirements necessary to enforce discipline. Behaviour that does not constitute a crime in civilian life can be a disciplinary matter in the Armed Forces. For example, a person can be disciplined for behaviour ranging from disobeying an order or being untidily dressed to assisting the enemy or obstructing operations. 3.2 These are offences that exist only in the Armed Forces and, with the exception of offences listed in Schedule 1 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (Armed Forces Order 2009), they do not appear on the PNC. 3.3 In order to ensure that UKBA is fulfilling its commitments under the military covenant by not disadvantaging ex Armed Forces personnel, where an individual discloses a record for a non criminal conduct offence (or it appears on the PNC), it should not be treated in the same way as a criminal conviction and therefore should not lead to a mandatory refusal. 3.4 However, Schedule 1 disciplinary offences (that are recorded on the PNC) may involve serious misconduct that may be relevant to broader considerations of the character, conduct and associations requirement under paragraph 322 (5) of the
3 Immigration Rules (for settlement applications) and under the good character provisions in the nationality guidance. Weight to be given to non-criminal (disciplinary) offences in considering character and conduct 3.5 The nature and seriousness of disciplinary offences vary considerably. Some can be dealt with summarily by a commanding officer, who can impose penalties up to a certain level (generally a fine up to 1000 or detention up to 90 days) and some are tried by Court Martial. 3.6 In considering whether non-criminal offences are relevant to character and conduct, a single offence leading to a non-custodial sentence or detention up to 90 days should be disregarded. 3.7 Each case must be considered on its individual merits. In reaching a decision, caseworkers should take into consideration: the nature of offence and whether this reflects issues that are relevant to good character the length of sentence any previous convictions, and whether there is a pattern of behaviour that gives rise to concerns about good character age of the offence and behaviour since length of service in the army is the offence out of character Service record any compelling mitigating circumstances. 3.8 For more information, see related links: General Grounds for Refusal (UKBA website guidance) General Ground for Refusal (Staff guidance) 4. APPROVAL PROCESS 4.1 If consideration is being given to refusing an application on good character grounds on the basis of a conviction for a non-criminal (disciplinary) offence, further advice about the nature and seriousness of the offence should be sought from: [contact details to be provided for each of the services by MOD] 4.2 A decision to refuse on good character grounds must be approved at Grade 7 level. 4.3 If an applicant has been convicted of a non-criminal (disciplinary) offence and sentenced to 6 months detention or more: cases with sentences from 6 months up to 12 months should be approved by the SCS Head of Unit;
4 cases with sentences of 12 months or more should be cleared by the Head of Unit and referred to Ministers for information before the decision is notified.
