Inspiring the next generation: Nuclear Waste Services and Sellafield Ltd at Cumbria careers fair
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-17)

Nuclear Waste Services and Sellafield Ltd joined UlverSTEM last week to inspire young people in Cumbria to explore opportunities in STEM education and careers.

Nuclear Waste Services (NWS) and Sellafield Ltd attended UlverSTEM last week as an opportunity to enthuse and inspire young people in Cumbria into science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and careers.

UlverSTEM is an interactive science, technology, engineering and maths focused event for 6 to 16 year olds, held at Ulverston Victoria High School and was attended by over 3,000 students.

At the event, NWS explored topics of geology and nuclear with the students, offering hands on activities to engage and learn. Sellafield Ltd facilitated interactive learning around building essential skills such as communication, teamwork, creativity and adaptability alongside an overarching theme of construction.

Tracy Badham, social responsibility manager at Nuclear Waste Services, said:

NWS has always supported STEM in our communities and UlverSTEM was a great success, it was wonderful to see so many young people eager to learn about geology, nuclear science and engineering.

We had lively conversations about the creation of rocks, importance of strong engineering in nuclear, how NWS deals with radioactive waste and the topic of radiation in everyday life.

Stephanie Hetherington, educational outreach lead at Sellafield Ltd, said:

Educational Outreach is vital in Sellafield. Inspiring young minds aged 6 to 16 year olds across Cumbria means showing them that their classroom subjects aren’t just abstract ideas—they’re stepping stones to real careers.

By linking activities to job roles and the national curriculum, we help them see their future in STEM, not as distant or exclusive, but as exciting, inclusive, and achievable.

When role models reflect the diversity of our communities, every child can see themselves in their own journey of STEM.

Nuclear Waste Services and Sellafield Ltd are both part of the NDA group, which is responsible for decommissioning the UK’s nuclear legacy.

Primary School workshops with NWS in Cumbria can be booked via the Centre for Leadership Performance (https://cforlp.org.uk/) website.

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 System Devices Ltd 1 Beeston Court 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 System Devices Ltd 1 Beeston Court 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:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers

- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- Armed Forces Day

Surgical site infection (SSI): guidance, data and analysis
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-24)

UKHSA helps hospitals record incidents of surgical site infection (SSI) to help improve surgical practice and prevent further infections.

A surgical site is the incision or cut in the skin made by a surgeon to carry out a surgical procedure, and the tissue handled or manipulated during the procedure.

A surgical site infection occurs when micro-organisms get into the part of the body that has been operated on and multiply in the tissues.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) helps hospitals record incidents of surgical site infection (SSI), to help improve surgical practice and prevent further infections.

UKHSA’s Surgical Site Infection Surveillance Service (SSISS) team is interested to hear from electronic health record providers seeking to develop systems to facilitate collection and submission of surveillance data by hospital staff.

Policy statement: The Appointed Representatives Regime
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-11)

This policy statement sets out the government’s overall policy approach for regulation of Appointed Representatives carrying on regulated financial services activity in the UK.

The government intends to preserve the Appointed Representatives regime in its current scope, using targeted and proportionate reforms to shore up confidence in the use of Appointed Representatives so that businesses and consumers can benefit from the regime well into the future. The government will consult on the detail of the proposed reforms in due course.

The Appointed Representatives regime plays an important part in the supply of financial services and provides substantial benefits to consumers and businesses. It supports innovation and competition by allowing firms to access financial services markets without the regulatory burden and cost of becoming authorised. It can help enhance the customer experience by enabling a range of non-financial businesses to offer complementary financial services alongside their core products.

However, there is concern that poor oversight of some Appointed Representatives is putting some consumers at risk. The government intends to address this concern so consumers and businesses can have confidence in the regime and to preserve the benefits provided by Appointed Representatives well into the future.

The policy statement sets out the government’s overall approach to the regulation of Appointed Representatives and outlines two reforms that the government intends to make to the legislative framework for Appointed Representatives. The government will consult on the detail of these reforms in due course.

Judicial Summary

In this decision the Upper Tribunal decides that the First-tier Tribunal was entitled to find that a letter the Appellant received which purported to communicate a decision on her entitlement to Personal Independence Payment was not itself a decision, and it did not establish that the decision it described had been made. The judge was entitled to conclude that there was therefore no decision under section 8 or 10 of the Social Security Act 1998 for the Appellant to appeal, and he was therefore bound to strike out the proceedings for lack of jurisdiction. Further, even had the Secretary of State made the decision that the letter purported to communicate, that decision would not have carried a right of appeal because it amounted to a decision not to revise or supersede the previous decision, and the only appealable decision was the decision she had decided neither to revise nor supersede. Appeal dismissed.

The Prime Minister welcomed the Sultan of Oman, His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik al Said, to Downing Street today.

The leaders began by discussing the horrific scenes of hunger and devastation in Gaza and agreed this cannot continue. They reiterated the call for significant volumes of aid to urgently reach the people in Gaza and the Prime Minister confirmed UK support for Jordanian air drops to deliver aid swiftly to Gaza’s most vulnerable.

The Prime Minister updated His Majesty on his conversations with other leaders in recent days, and both agreed on the need for a longer-term peace plan, which includes a pathway to recognition. They both reiterated the need for Hamas to release all hostages, disarm and sign up to a ceasefire, and accept that they will play no role in the future of Gaza.

On Iran, the Prime Minister thanked His Majesty for Oman’s continued efforts to reach a diplomatic solution to avoid a return to conflict and ensure peace and security in the region.

The leaders also discussed the ongoing UK-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) trade talks, and the Prime Minister outlined the huge potential for the UK economy and British businesses through this trade deal. They agreed to further collaboration between the UK on Oman in areas such as energy, technology, defence and security.

They agreed to keep in touch.
CG17010 - Rebasing for companies: halving relief for deferred gains pre-31/3/82: claims for relief
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-28)


TCGA92/SCH4/PARA9

Relief under Paragraph 9 of Schedule 4 is available only on the making of a claim. The time limit for such a claim is: within two years of the end of the year of assessment in which the disposal is made (or the gain is treated as accruing) or within such further time as the Board may allow.

Each claim is to be supported by such particulars as are required for the purposes of establishing
- entitlement to relief, and
- the amount of the relief due.
Thus the onus of proving the claim is placed on the company. HMRC will not be able to assist in identifying gains that were deferred so long ago.

The time limit is subject to extension to such longer period as the Board may allow. Late claims should be dealt with in accordance with the guidance at CG13750 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual/cg13750#).

TCGA92/SCH4/PARA4

TCGA92/SCH4 applies if the following conditions are satisfied
- the charging of a gain has been postponed under any of the provisions listed in CG17033
- the gain accrues on the occurrence of an event on or after 6 April 1988
- the gain is attributable, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, to the disposal before 6 April 1988 of an asset acquired before 31 March 1982.
Then, subject to a claim being made, see CG17060, the amount of the gain accruing is simply reduced by half. If the gain is directly attributable to the disposal of an asset on or before 31 March 1982 refer to CG17060.

The words `directly or indirectly' and `in whole or in part' serve the same purpose as in CG16983.

Assets not held at 31/3/82

TCGA92/SCH4/PARA5 ensures that relief will be available where the postponed charge is attributable in whole or in part to a disposal by a company that did not hold the asset on 31 March 1982 but which acquired it by a specified no gain/no loss transfer from a company that did. The specified no gain/no loss disposals are listed in CG16880, but the one that will be of most continuing relevance will be a transfer within a group, TCGA92/S171 and its forerunners.

An asset is to be regarded as having been acquired by a company before 31 March 1982 if it is derived from an asset which was acquired by it before that day, TCGA92/SCH4/PARA8.

Only one claim

There was a defect in the original legislation because it did not prevent a claim being made under Paragraph 4 if a claim had earlier been made under Paragraph 2. This was rectified in Finance Act 1991 for disposals on or after 19 March 1991. Paragraph 4(4) denies relief where the gain being charged is
- attributable, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, to the disposal of an asset on or after 6 April 1988, or
- would have been less if relief under the Schedule had been claimed on an earlier occasion.
The legislation described above now applies only to charges postponed between 1982 and 1988. For charges postponed before 1982 see CG17060.

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 Darlington Harriers & Athletics Club 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 Darlington Harriers & Athletics Club 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.

The Regulator of Social Housing's view of how well Legal & General Affordable Homes Limited is meeting regulatory standards.

The judgement(s) on this page concern an organisation that is designated a for-profit registered provider.

The registered provider is not at the head of its group. It is a subsidiary organisation within a larger group of connected companies. The registered provider is not intended to operate as a standalone entity in the group structure. It requires the ongoing support of related parties to fulfil its functions and / or meet its objectives. The nature of this support is described in the judgement(s).

The judgement(s) concern the registered provider only and do not represent an assessment of the non-registered entities within the group.

Regulatory judgements are our published view of how well a landlord is delivering the outcomes of our standards (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/regulatory-standards-for-landlords). Each landlord’s page contains their current judgement.
