Units want the option to wear orange overalls retained
The SESVA was asked to respond to a proposal to retire the one-piece PPC (overalls) worn by SES volunteers for more than 40 years. SES volunteers would instead wear a two-piece uniform.

The SESVA is liaising with DFES about the proposal and will soon be providing an update to units.
