Racism in the military? A former RAF officer's storyClose
 

Efforts to tackle racism and sexism in the armed forces have been described as "sclerotic" according to the independent Ombudsman who oversees complaints within the military.

Nicola Williams, who leaves her post as the Service Complaints Ombudsman at the end of the year, has repeatedly highlighted concerns that women and ethnic minorities in the services account for a disproportionate number of complaints about bullying harassment and discrimination in the military.

The BBC's Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale spoke to one former officer who says his concerns about racism in the military were never properly addressed.

The watchdog overseeing complaints in the Armed Forces has called on the Ministry of Defence to do more to tackle racism.

The ombudsman's comments follow a number of high profile cases in which soldiers have taken legal action against the Army over allegations or racism.

Former soldier Mark de Kretser spoke to the BBC's Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale about his personal experience of harassment.
