The Army HIVE Information <strong>Service</strong> aims to respond swiftly and efficiently to enquiries<br />
from anyone within the <strong>Service</strong> community. Enquiries are welcomed from serving<br />
personnel, their dependants, partners, extended families, veterans, war widows (ers)<br />
and MOD civilians.<br />
The HIVE information Support Officers (HISOs) who manage the HIVE information<br />
centres have a wide range of information available, focusing on local area education,<br />
housing and accommodation, employment and training opportunities, childcare,<br />
travel, leisure and health facilities. They hold comprehensive new arrival location<br />
overviews for serving accompanied and single serving personnel which aim to assist<br />
anyone settling into their new location. When it is time to move on HISOs are ready<br />
to provide the answers to questions on the next posting location.<br />
The Army HIVE information service has excellent links with <strong>Service</strong> and civilian<br />
agencies which ensures that up to date, useful and important information is passed<br />
on quickly. Close contacts with local civilian authorities and unit staff further ensure<br />
that local information is kept current. HISOs work closely with the Unit welfare staff<br />
at times of operational deployment and provide a deployment communication pack<br />
designed to keep families in touch during these times.<br />
In addition to the information provision role HISOs are able to confidentially refer<br />
you to the right person should you have a need for personal help or support and<br />
will feedback to the chain of command concerns on issues affecting the <strong>Service</strong><br />
community.<br />

abuse. Volunteers may have contact with a victim of crime just once or offer ongoing<br />
