• DOLAS - The Defence Operational Language Awards Scheme. The aim of the DOLAS is to provide a financial incentive to all ranks of the Armed Forces to declare, develop and maintain their ability in operationally important languages in order to support Defence missions. Operational languages currently include Arabic, Farsi, Dari, Pashto and Somali. • There are 4 skill levels of award; survival, functional, professional and expert. These are calculated by how many SLP points are held in various areas. An Arabic professional (9-12 SLP points) would receive an initial award of up to £8,100. A daily payment between £16.20 and £48.60 (depending on experience) is also available when an individual is deployed to an appropriate operation. Service language training is only given for language-essential posts, but individuals may volunteer for training in an operational language to professional level for an operational linguist tour as an augmentee. Training and employment is a 2 year commitment. Additional Information • Recording Language Qualifications in JPA. 2008DIN07-060 stipulates how to record language qualifications obtained not through Service training. Essentially, complete Annex A of the DIN and send it to DOLSU for assessment and recording on JPA. • Further information can be obtained from the Defence Operational Languages Support Unit (DOLSU), Jt Cap, Trenchard Lines, UpAvon, Pewsey, Wiltshire, SN9 6BE, Telephone: 01980 615358/615362, Mil: 94344 5358/5362, E-mail address: so1@dolsu.mod.uk.

<strong>BRIEF</strong> 10 FINANCIAL EDUCATION Key Points: • 2SL directive that it is a Command responsibility to initiate, support and embed financial education. • Divisional Officers should not provide financial advice, but they are to ensure that the educational methods available are briefed to their divisions. • A number of educational opportunities are available for personnel to learn about financial capability. • 2SL directive dated 14 Jul 08 made financial education a priority for our people. As well as being an important life skill, financial education now could save a huge amount of divisional work and personal anguish further downstream – all of which is directly related to the moral component of OC. • Naval personnel are not permitted to offer financial advice. Financial Awareness Training is a mandatory divisional briefing as all personnel should know both how to look after their own finances and where to signpost members of their division for guidance if required. These briefings are achieved in a number of ways: • The White Ensign Association (WEA) provides personal advice and support. WEA staff are specialists in personal finance and provide regular financial awareness presentations in most RN and RM establishments. The WEA can be contacted through www.whiteensign.co.uk. • The WEA brief captures a large number of personnel as they go through certain training establishments. This, albeit very valuable, cannot suffice for a person’s entire career or for those not initially briefed, therefore The Consumer Financial Educational Body (CFEB), previously part of the Financial Standards Authority (FSA), provides briefs on request. For a booking form contact FXO Air (details below). CFEB have a range of booklets called ‘Money Made Clear’ which provide facts about making the most of your money. These guides are available from www.moneymadeclear.org.uk. • Courses are available to help all Service personnel, and their families, in your local Royal Navy learndirect centre. Once you have enrolled, you can access your course through www.learndirect.co.uk wherever you have access to the internet. • Service personnel can visit Defence E-Learning Centres (DELCs) which offer a free course ‘Learn About Money’. This can be accessed on the internet through the Defence Learning Portal. Find your local DELC at www.delc.co.uk.
