Seaton Cleaning Services

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 Seaton Cleaning Services 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 Seaton Cleaning Services 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
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- 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.
Conflict, Stability and Security Fund: India and Indian Ocean annual review summaries 2023 to 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-27)

This page includes 2023 to 2024 annual review summaries of Conflict, Stability and Security Fund programmes in India and the Indian Ocean.

All Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) programmes are reviewed carefully each year. These reviews assess:

technical and programme management standards including financial and risk management, value for money, conflict and gender sensitivity

contextual factors such as changes to the political environment

the outputs and outcomes during the year

Lessons learned are also identified.

An expert team conducts these reviews and include at least one team member who is independent from the programme. The team assesses at 2 levels: output (the direct result of programme activities) and outcome (the changes that these outputs deliver). Assessment scores are on a scale of 4, where outputs or outcomes meet or exceed expectations, to 1, where most targets were not met.

The CSSF team 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 for this are:

to protect national security

for the safety and security of beneficiaries, partners and partner governments
Perceptions of Department for Work and Pensions
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-29)

This report summarises findings on public perceptions of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

The research was undertaken in October 2024 to benchmark public perceptions of DWP brands, for instance, Jobcentre Plus and Universal Credit. The objectives of this research were to understand how DWP is perceived by the general population and how perceptions vary between the general population and DWP customers. The research also explored the factors that influence these perceptions. These findings, alongside wider insight, for example, from the DWP Customer Experience Survey, will help inform future policy and service delivery development.

VATTOS3600 - Identifying a tax point: actual tax points
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-13)


The basic tax point is always over ridden by an actual tax point (see VATTOS5000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/vat-time-of-supply/vattos5000)). An actual tax point can be created before or after the basic tax point. An earlier tax point arises if the supplier issues a VAT invoice or receives a payment in advance of the basic tax point. On the other hand, unless a taxpayer has elected to the contrary, the tax point is delayed where the supplier issues a VAT invoice within 14 days (or a longer period where this has been allowed) after the basic tax point.Often there can be more than one tax point. For example a business undertakes to supply an item of furniture. The customer pays a deposit when the order is placed. Receipt of that payment creates a tax point at that time for the amount received. Under the contract, the balance of the purchase price is payable once the goods have been delivered. The tax point for the remainder of the supply then depends on the actions of the supplier. If the supplier issues a VAT invoice for the balance within 14 days after delivery of the furniture (ie the basic tax point), then it is the invoice that creates the tax point.If the invoice is issued after 14 days, or no VAT invoice is to be issued at all because, say, the customer is a private person, then the tax point reverts to the basic tax point.In this case when the furniture was delivered. It should be noted that because payment of the balance of the purchase price occurred after the basic tax point it has no significance for time of supply purposes.

Under IHTA84/S218, where any person, in the course of a trade or profession carried on by them, other than the profession of a barrister, has been concerned with the making of a settlement and knows or has reason to believe

that the settlor was long-term UK resident (IHTM47000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm47000)) (from 6 April 2025) or was domiciled (IHTM13000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/inheritance-tax-manual/ihtm13000)) in the United Kingdom (to 6 April 2025), and

that the trustees of the settlement are not or will not be resident in the United Kingdom,

that person must, within three months of the making of the settlement, make a return to the Board stating the names and addresses of the settlor and of the trustees of the settlement.

S218 does not apply if the trust is made by will or if an account IHT100 regarding the creation of the trust has been delivered to us.

Child development outcomes at 2 to 2 and a half years: annual data 2021 to 2022
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-12)

Annual datasets for local authority metrics on outcomes for children at 2 to 2 and a half years as measured by the Ages and Stages Questionnaire 3 (ASQ-3).

Annual experimental statistics on child development at 2 to 2 and a half years. Information is presented at local authority of residence, regional and England level.

The latest annual data covers the period 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022. Data from previous years (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/child-development-outcomes-at-2-to-2-and-a-half-years-annual-data) was published by OHID and Public Health England.

The metrics presented are ‘the percentage of children who were at or above the expected level’ in these areas of development:
- communication skills
- gross motor skills
- fine motor skills
- problem solving skills
- personal-social skills
- all 5 areas of development
The data was collected through an interim reporting system (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/childrens-public-health-0-to-5-years-national-reporting) set up to collect health visiting activity data at a local authority resident level. It is collected from the health visitor reviews completed at 2 to 2 and a half years using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire 3 (ASQ-3). Data was submitted by local authorities on a voluntary basis.

Local authority commissioners and health professionals can use these resources to track the extent to which children aged 2 to 2 and a half years in their local area are achieving the expected levels of development.

Correction notices

Hampshire County Council has identified an error where their health visiting service provider has been reporting some children as not reaching the expected level of development for personal-social skills, when they have reached the expected level. This was due to an error in the cut-off score being used. It affects data from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2024. The data has therefore been removed from the relevant indicator on personal-social skills at 2 to 2 and a half years in Fingertips (https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/profile/child-health-profiles/data#page/4/gid/xx-xxxx-xxxx/pat/159/par/K02000001/ati/15/are/E92000001/iid/93435/age/241/sex/4/cat/-1/ctp/-1/yrr/1/cid/4/tbm/1). No changes have been made to the data tables or commentary on this GOV.UK page. No other changes have been made to Fingertips.

Since publication in November 2022, Havering and Stoke on Trent have identified discrepancies in the child development data they submitted for 2021 to 2022. These discrepancies have caused statistically significant changes in the England, London and West Midlands figures for child development outcomes for 2021 to 2022. A separate issue has been identified for the South East and East of England figures. OHID has updated and reissued the data in OHID’s Fingertips tool (https://fingertips.phe.org.uk/profile/child-health-profiles/data#page/4/gid/xx-xxxx-xxxx/pat/159/par/K02000001/ati/15/are/E92000001/iid/93436/age/241/sex/4/cat/-1/ctp/-1/yrr/1/cid/4/tbm/1).
Privacy Enhancing Technologies Adoption Guide

The PETs Adoption Guide is a question-based flowchart to aid decision-makers in thinking through which Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) may be useful in their projects.

Description

The PETs Adoption Guide below is a question-based flowchart to aid decision-makers in thinking through which Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) may be useful in their projects.

The guide aims not to be overly prescriptive and does not claim to cover all use cases of PETs. Rather, it seeks to support decision-making around the use of PETs by helping the user explore which technologies could be beneficial to their use case. Whether a particular PET provides a suitable solution will depend on the specific context, and results from the Guide should be read as suggestions to explore rather than definitive solutions.

It is also important to understand that using an individual PET does not in itself guarantee an improvement in privacy unless accompanied by a good overall privacy design, and appropriate governance arrangements.

Celebrating International Security Officers’ Day
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-24)

The Security Industry Authority is paying tribute to those in the private security industry who go above and beyond for public safety.

Celebrated on 24 July every year, to reflect the role security play protecting the public 24/7, International Security Officers’ Day is a significant date in the private security industry.

Chair of the SIA Heather Baily has written a message of thanks to all those in the private security industry who help keep the public safe every single day, while also reflecting on the impressive skills successful security operatives possess.

As part of the same piece, the SIA also spoke to three front line security officers to learn more about their varied roles and responsibilities, as well as their advice and perspective for the rest of the private security industry.

Read the full message from Heather Baily and the words from the front line operatives (https://thesiauk.blog/international-security-officers-day-2025/) on our blog.

SIA CEO Michelle Russell will be visiting security operatives in London as part of the day’s activity to hear directly from operatives about their experience and the challenges they’ve faced protecting the public, while our Chair Heather Baily will be doing the same with operatives in Manchester.

These visits, alongside other content related to International Security Officers’ Day, will be posted about on the SIA’s LinkedIn page (https://www.linkedin.com/company/security-industry-authority/).

Background

International Security Officers’ Day is held each year on 24 July to represent the 24/7 nature of security work.

Members of the public are encouraged to acknowledge any security operatives they see on the day. Some simple things you can do to show your appreciation include saying hello or thank you with a smile.

Security business owners and managers are also encouraged to acknowledge their front-line workers. Examples of how security companies are marking the occasion include: sending thank you messages to their staff, organising an event or site visit to say thank you in person, and acknowledging their officers on social media.
Second shipment of high level waste from the UK to Germany
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-24)

Sellafield Ltd and Nuclear Transport Solutions are making preparations for the second return of high level waste, in the form of vitrified residue, to Germany.

Seven flasks will be transported from Sellafield via a German port to the Isar Federal storage facility in the first half of 2025.

This will be the second of three shipments from the UK to Germany. The first shipment of 6 flasks, to Biblis, was successfully completed in 2020.

The waste results from the reprocessing and recycling of spent nuclear fuel at the Sellafield site in West Cumbria, which had previously been used to produce electricity by utilities in Germany.

Vitrified residue returns are a key component of the UK’s Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) strategy to repatriate high level waste from the UK, fulfil overseas contracts and deliver UK Government policy.

These returns involve Sellafield Ltd working in partnership with Nuclear Transport Solutions (NTS) to return the waste to German customers.

The waste will be transported by sea on a specialist vessel to a German port, then onwards by rail to its final destination.

The shipments will be carried out in full compliance with all applicable national and international regulations, and subject to issue of all relevant permits and licenses.

Sellafield Ltd and NTS will provide further information on the shipments in due course.

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 More Driver Solutions LTD 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 More Driver Solutions LTD 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 Reservists

- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
