From trait to state: how Ofsted might consider conceptualising vulnerability for inspection and regulation
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-02)

Findings from research on conceptualising vulnerability commissioned by Ofsted and carried out by Research in Practice at the National Children's Bureau (NCB).

This research was commissioned by Ofsted and carried out by Research in Practice, which is a part of the NCB.

The study explored how vulnerability is currently understood across the education, childcare, and social care sectors. It also considered how Ofsted might conceptualise vulnerability – and its complexity – to support the way we evaluate inclusive practice while regulating and inspecting these sectors.

The research involved extensive stakeholder engagement, including a wide range of professionals, both in and outside the organisation, as well as parents and young people.

We published our Terms of reference: Commissioned research on vulnerability and inclusion (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/commissioned-research-on-vulnerability-and-inclusion-terms-of-reference) for this research in October 2024.

The views expressed are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily represent the views of Ofsted. Ofsted is publishing the report as a contribution to discussion and debate.
UKEF strengthens sustainable exports on the eve of COP30
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-13)

UK Export Finance announce new clean-growth initiatives ahead of global climate change summit.

New UK-Brazil agreement will unlock business opportunities in energy transition and infrastructure projects

Hive Energy scales up solar power projects across four continents with UKEF support

UKEF targets £10bn in clean growth financing by 2029

UK Export Finance (UKEF) – the government’s export credit agency – unveils new actions to promote sustainable trade financing and back British businesses as world leaders descend on Belém for the COP30 summit.

UKEF has signed a reinsurance agreement with its Brazilian counterpart, the Agência Brasileira Gestora de Fundos Garantidores e Garantias (ABGF).

This is the first agreement of its kind that ABGF has signed with another export credit agency and means that Brazilian exports that include British content will benefit from UKEF-backed guarantees – opening collaboration opportunities in energy transition and infrastructure projects.

Another milestone at COP30 will be the publication of the first progress report of the Net Zero Export Credit Alliance (NZECA), chaired by UKEF since its launch at COP28 and comprising export credit agencies from nine countries. The report, which will be published on 14 November, will detail how NZECA is working to align $338 billion of export support with pathways to net zero by 2050.

UKEF has also mobilised new financial support for Hampshire-based Hive Energy. Finance from HSBC UK, backed by UKEF’s General Export Facility (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/general-export-facility), will enable Hive Energy to scale up solar power projects across Europe, North America, the Caribbean, South America and Africa. To date, Hive Energy has completed 60 solar projects, generating 3,066 megawatts of clean energy worldwide.

Tim Reid, Chief Executive of UK Export Finance, said:

Public finance organisations like UKEF and other export credit agencies are vital to deliver sustainable international trade.

We’re proud to continue supporting British businesses like Hive Energy, which reinforce the UK’s position as a leader in the global transition to clean energy.

UKEF has set a target to provide £10 billion of clean growth finance by 2029, supporting the government’s mission to make Britain a clean energy superpower and achieve at least 95% clean power by 2030.

EXPP8250 - Guidance on other procedures: disaster relief / humanitarian aid
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-24)


This manual will be archived on 15 December 2025. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know.

Note: This manual is under review and is likely to be withdrawn. If there is anything within this manual you use regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx?subject=%node:field_page_reference feedback) to let us know. Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs/services-information).

The UK puts into practice a recommendation of the World Customs Organisation (WCO) aimed at speeding up the forwarding of relief consignments in the event of disasters. In the case of exports, the recommendation provides for:
- official certification of lists of the contents of relief consignments, and
- the securing of goods under customs seals, to aid the passage of the goods through the territories of other signatory countries and admission of the goods into the countries of destination.
The term 'disaster' is to be taken to include natural disasters eg floods, earthquakes and similar catastrophes.

Action is to be taken under these arrangements only at the request of exporters or their agents. The arrangements apply to goods of all kinds except tobacco products and alcoholic liquor but they are normally expected to cover:
- food
- medicines
- clothing
- bedding
- tents
- prefabricated buildings, and
- other emergency items.
The arrangements do not affect normal customs export documentation. Pre entry, export licensing or other export restrictions requirements continue to apply. In cases when humanitarian goods are presented for export without a licence and there is no evidence of a deliberate attempt to evade the controls, you should normally only detain the goods until the exporter obtains a licence, rather than moving to seizure.

On each occasion the exporter or agent is to make a formal application to Customs at the port for the certification and sealing of the goods to be exported. The exporter is to supply a list of the goods to be exported, clearly indicating the place and organisation to which the consignment is being sent. It is the exporter's responsibility to ensure that a sufficient number of copies of the list are provided for delivery to customs authorities in the countries of transit and destination.

Consignments of goods (eg second hand clothing and bedding) to countries which although they have not suffered a recent disaster are undergoing a period of hardship or economic difficulty should be expedited but should not circumvent normal freight controls. The procedures covering Disaster relief arrangements should be followed where requested by the exporter or their representative.

Source: gov.uk (2025-11-10)

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 Wild Thang UK 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 Wild Thang UK 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.
Polio: guidance, vaccination, data and analysis
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-09)

The diagnosis, vaccination, management and epidemiology of polio (poliomyelitis).

Poliomyelitis (polio) is a highly infectious vaccine preventable disease. It is a notifiable disease in England and Wales (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/notifications-of-infectious-diseases-noids).

Polio invades the nervous system and can cause total paralysis in a matter of hours (see acute flaccid paralysis (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/acute-flaccid-paralysis-syndrome)). It can strike at any age but affects mainly children aged under 3 years. Most people infected with the poliovirus have no signs of illness. Symptomless people can spread the infection to thousands of others before the first case of polio paralysis emerges.

See enterovirus infections (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/enterovirus-infections) for further information.

For the latest international news on polio see statements from the World Health Organization (WHO) (https://www.who.int/groups/poliovirus-ihr-emergency-committee) and news from the National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNac) (https://travelhealthpro.org.uk/news-topic/31/polio).
IEIM8000270 - Payment or Investment Purpose Test
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-04)


If a cryptoasset is not a central bank digital currency (CBDC) or specified electronic money product (SEMP), the RCASP must assess whether it can be used for payment or investment purposes.

RCASPs may rely on Financial Action Task Force (FATF) classification. If the asset is a virtual asset for anti-money laundering (AML) purposes under FATF, it is a relevant cryptoasset under CARF.

If not classified under FATF, the RCASP must assess whether the asset cannot be used for payment or investment purposes. Only if the RCASP determines that the cryptoasset cannot be used for payment or investment purposes, then the cryptoasset can be excluded from treatment as a relevant cryptoasset.

In cases of doubt or ambiguity, the cryptoasset must be treated as a relevant cryptoasset.

Financial Assets or regulated instruments

Cryptoassets that represent financial assets or are subject to financial regulation are considered usable for investment and are therefore relevant cryptoassets

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.

An independent research report.

This tracker seeks to build on a body of existing research and evidence in this area, including the Consumer Attitudes to Product Safety study. It aims to benchmark and measure various key objectives of OPSS as well as filling evidence gaps for various policy topics.

Key objectives of this research include:
- to understand and monitor consumers’ awareness and attitudes to a range of product safety issues
- to gain new attitudinal insight on OPSS policy areas
- to increase understanding of vulnerabilities and vulnerable groups
To support these objectives, OPSS commissioned YouGov to understand and monitor consumers’ awareness and attitudes of product safety, their attitudes towards the product safety regulatory system, and understanding of different organisations concerned with product safety.

This report presents the findings from the 7th wave of tracking, including comparisons against the previous waves where applicable. The report also includes an exploration of key topical policy areas including fireworks, cybersecurity, electric vehicle charging and product repairs.
