We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Wimborne Minster Town Council will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Wimborne Minster Town Council recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

Pension Schemes Bill IA: RPC Opinion (green-rated)
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-06)

Regulatory Policy Committee opinion on DWP's Pensions Schemes Bill IA

The proposal aims to reshape the pension landscape into fewer, larger and better governed schemes to deliver improved returns, access wider asset classes, and support growth through increased investment in productive UK assets. The measures (in separate sub-IAs) include: a Value for Money framework, authorisation of Superfunds, consolidation of small pots, guided retirement, Megafunds and surplus extraction.

The IA (https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3982/publications) provides a good level of analysis. It details direct impacts on businesses, using proportionate evidence and reasonable assumptions. It thoroughly assesses impacts on small businesses. The rationales are generally comprehensive.

While many options are assessed, there should be more justification for rejecting non-regulatory options. The cost-benefit analysis draws on various evidence sources, and provides useful sensitivity testing. The IA lacks detail in in the monitoring and evaluation section, which should have outlined success metrics, reporting requirements, and methodologies, across the policies.

Overall, the IA demonstrates a reasonable analytical approach.

- the number of households who are on Universal Credit to November 2024
Further information

See the background information and methodology note (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/universal-credit-statistics-background-information-and-methodology) for guidance on these statistics, such as timeliness, uses, and procedures. Universal Credit claims and starts breakdowns by postcode are no longer available from April 2022 onwards, due to missing geography data. The missing information has been captured and action is being taken to reinstate these breakdowns in future releases. Updates will be provided via Stat-Xplore and the GOV.UK website.

Interactive tools

Software used for the interactive maps is no longer supported. These showed households on Universal Credit at the local authority level and people on Universal Credit at Jobcentre Plus level.

The interactive maps have therefore been withdrawn and a replacement is currently under development. Once completed and launched, the interactive tool (called Examine-a-Stat) will have improved functionality, including interactive maps, to better meet a wider range of user needs. It will be available in due course and the statistics are currently accessible on Stat-Xplore (https://stat-xplore.dwp.gov.uk).

Pre-release access

In addition to staff who are responsible for the production and quality assurance of the statistics, up to 24-hour pre-release access is provided to ministers and other officials. We publish the job titles and organisations of the people who have been granted up to 24-hour pre-release access to the latest Universal Credit statistics (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pre-release-access-to-statistics-order-2008/pre-release-access-to-dwp-statistics#universal-credit).

Use of force, restraint and restrictive practices in the children and young people secure estate
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-13)

This policy framework sets out rules and guidance on the use of approved restraint techniques and restrictive physical interventions for staff at secure settings and escort providers in the Youth Custody Service (YCS).

This framework establishes a clear, coherent and child-focused policy statement about the use of restraint and physical interventions by staff who work with children and young people who have been remanded or sentenced to custody by the Courts. It recognises that while every effort is made to reduce the likelihood that it is sometimes necessary for staff to physically intervene, there are some scenarios where staff have no other option to prevent violence or protect themselves or others from injury or serious harm through the use of restraint or physical intervention. It therefore sets out duties, rules and general guidance for staff in those scenarios.

The framework applies to all YCS secure settings where remanded and sentenced children and young people may be placed including under-18 Young Offender Institutions (YOI), Secure Training Centres (STC) and Secure Children’s Homes (SCH), as well as to escort providers responsible for the physical movement of children between secure settings and Courts.

To ensure that they are prepared for the response in such scenarios all members of staff must be trained to apply the local syllabus on restraint and physical intervention and understand the principles of law and the relevant Rules or Regulations which apply to their setting and how this applies to their practice.

The framework also provides rules and guidance about the effective and timely recording of incidents where restraint or physical intervention has been used, and the provision of post-incident care and support for staff and children and young people including the consideration and response to any safeguarding matters.

From the framework’s implementation date PSO 1600, guidance on use of force in prisons (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/use-of-force-in-prisons-pso-1600), and PSI 30/2015, amendments to PSO 1600 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/amendments-to-the-use-of-force-policy-psi-302015), will cease to apply to under-18 YOI in the YCS.

This framework applies to all Use of Force incidents in youth custody, including any use of PAVA incapacitant spray (limited rollout authorised in certain sites from 2025). The PAVA operational guidance and its related Children’s Rights Impact Assessment summary outlines measures and considerations specifically around use of PAVA within youth custody. This additional operational guidance only applicable in public sector YOI settings where PAVA is authorised under the limited rollout.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) wants your views on potential changes to how driving tests can be booked and managed. We’re looking at 2 main areas:
- who should be allowed to book and manage driving tests
- should we limit or remove the ability to change test centres and swap tests between different learners
These changes aim to make the system fairer and stop people being charged excessive fees for booking tests.
