Launch event for Medact's latest report, into the British military's recruitment of under 18s. There'll be a panel of expert speakers and a discussion about the UK's policy of recruiting under 18s and the impact this has on their long-term health. We'll also be discussing the militarisation of civil society and education, why we need to speak out and act against it - and how to do so effectively.

Speakers include:
Joe Glenton: Afghanistan veteran, author & campaigner
Sally Slotowitz: Psychologist and a report author
