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 Shadowpoint Solutions 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 Shadowpoint Solutions 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 Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

Moments of change and travel behaviours
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-27)

Examines whether and how behavioural travel interventions can be improved by coinciding them with changes in society or in people's lives.

A change in a person’s life or environment – defined in this research as a ‘moment of change’ – can make them more likely to adopt new or different travel behaviours.

An understanding of moments of change and their connection to transport can enhance the effectiveness of travel interventions.

This research was commissioned in 2023 and produced 2 reports.

The first report explains how and why moments of change affect behaviour and provides a framework to help those designing interventions to promote sustainable or active travel.

The rapid evidence assessment evaluates the research evidence on whether behavioural interventions can be more effective if they coincide with moments of change.

These reports were written by the DfT Behavioural Science team, the Behavioural Insights team and TRL.

Employment intermediaries reporting requirements
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-12)

Find guidance about the reports that intermediaries need to send to HMRC where they do not operate Pay As You Earn.

An intermediary is any person who makes arrangements for an individual to work for a third party or pay for work done for a third party. An employment intermediary is also known as an agency.

Intermediaries must:
- report details of all workers they place with clients where the intermediary does not operate Pay As You Earn (PAYE) on the workers’ payments
- send the reports to HMRC at least once every 3 months.
You can decide how often you upload and send your reports. For example, this could be weekly, monthly, once for each period.

The intermediary that has the contract with the client is responsible for sending the reports.

Create reports using HMRC’s report template (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/employment-intermediaries-report-template).

Upload and send your reports using HMRC’s online service (https://www.gov.uk/send-employment-intermediary-report).

You do not have to send HMRC reports if all the following statement are true. You:
- are a UK employer
- supply workers to provide their services to end clients and nobody else is involved
- operate PAYE when you pay those workers
HMRC has consulted with intermediary representatives (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/draft-legislation-the-income-tax-pay-as-you-earn-amendment-no-x-regulations-2015) and has listened and responded to many of the concerns raised around the information to be included in the report. Where possible, HMRC has changed the final reporting requirements to reduce the regulatory burden.

Regulator of Social Housing and Charity Commission set out how they will continue to work together
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-11)

The Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) and the Charity Commission have today (Tuesday 11 November) published a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), setting out how the two organisations will continue to work with each other.

As many private registered providers of social housing are also registered charities, the organisations agree that it is important that this MoU sets out how they will work together with the aim of achieving a collaborative, efficient and effective working relationship.

The Memorandum includes commitments to:

share information in order to help each discharge their regulatory functions

raise issues at an early stage that might have significant implications for the other

signpost enquirers to the other organisation where appropriate

discuss matters of mutual interest including stakeholder engagement, ensuring consistency in communicating about each other’s roles

avoid duplication and ensure consistent treatment for bodies regulated by both organisations, as far as possible within their respective roles

The Charity Commission and RSH will review this MoU every three years, or after a significant change in legislation, policy or practice in either party, to ensure that it reflects any developments and changes in working practices.

Fiona MacGregor, Chief Executive of the Regulator of Social Housing, said:

We recognise the importance of working together with the Charity Commission to achieve both our respective objectives.

This Memorandum of Understanding gives clarity over how we will share information with each other, which is important for a collaborative and effective working relationship.”

David Holdsworth, Chief Executive of the Charity Commission, said:

This is an important commitment from both of our respective bodies. Charities are a vital part of the social housing sector, helping their beneficiaries access housing which meets their needs. By working together within our respective remits, we can help ensure the effective regulation of organisations which are both registered charities and registered social housing providers, including when concerns arise.

This page includes summaries of Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) Serious Organised Crime programmes covering 2023 to 2024.

Programme summaries give an annual overview of each Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programme. They explain what support the CSSF provided and intended outcomes, stating:

where the programme worked

what it is trying to achieve

the budget

the programme length

They break down programme activity into individual components or projects, with details of the lead UK government department and the organisations that are implementing the programme. View further detail on the programme summary form (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/understanding-a-conflict-stability-and-security-fund-programme-summary).

The CSSF aims to publish information for all programmes. However, because some of the CSSF’s work is very sensitive, we cannot publish details of all programmes. The 2 main reasons are:

to protect national security interests

for the safety and security of beneficiaries, partners and partner governments

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 Swanwick Parish 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 Swanwick Parish 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
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve 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.

Online marketplaces consumer journeys

An independent research report.

Online marketplaces are a key area of interest. Over the past 10 years, the percentage of online sales has tripled, and they now make up nearly 30% of all retail sales (Office for National Statistics, 2023). However, eCommerce has also brought new challenges and, in particular, there are concerns about the ease with which unsafe products can be sold online. An online marketplace is a digital platform or website where third-party sellers offer goods and/or services directly to consumers. The marketplace facilitates transactions between buyers and sellers but typically does not own the inventory sold.

This research aims to understand how consumers consider product safety when shopping on online marketplaces.
