Four young women told the BBC they suffered sexual abuse and harassment while attending the Army Foundation College (AFC) at Harrogate in North Yorkshire, which provides basic training to under-19s. Deputy mayor Jo Coles said the accounts relating to the Army Foundation College in Harrogate are “incredibly upsetting”. “We acknowledged to the victim that the service received fell short of the standards required, and expected, of North Yorkshire Police. “We encourage anyone who has experienced or witnessed unacceptable or criminal behaviour at the Army Foundation College to come forward.” I will make sure that all girls at the Army Foundation College are able to contact my team for support.”
