UKHSA urges vaccination against respiratory viruses ahead of winter
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-25)

The UK Health Security Agency is encouraging people to get their flu, COVID-19 and RSV vaccinations ahead of the winter months.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is urging people to book their vaccinations against flu, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) as cases are starting to increase ahead of the winter months. The latest national flu and COVID-19 surveillance report shows cases have been steadily increasing for several weeks, with COVID-19 positivity increasing from 7.6% to 8.4% in a week. COVID-19 hospitalisations have also increased from 2.00 per 100,000 to 2.73 per 100,000.

To ensure people are protected ahead of the peak respiratory illness season, UKHSA is highlighting the importance of taking up the free NHS offer as soon as you are invited for vaccination. Pregnant women and millions of children have already been able to get vaccinated, with appointments for most eligible groups available from 1 October. Vaccination offers the best protection against respiratory viruses such as flu, COVID-19 and RSV, and the NHS national booking system means it’s easier than ever to book your appointment and get protected.

For the first time this year, in addition to other eligible groups, toddlers can also get their flu vaccination, which is given as a nasal spray, at community pharmacies.

To encourage higher uptake this winter, the government has this week also launched a new vaccination communications campaign advising people of the steps they can take to protect themselves against flu this winter. The ‘Stay Strong. Get Vaccinated’ campaign, developed by the Department of Health and Social Care, with UKHSA and NHS England, will focus on different eligible groups and will run across a range of channels including TV, video on demand, radio, outdoor and social media.

UKHSA also reports a significant increase in the virus that causes the common cold, likely driven by the return of schools after the summer break. Rhinovirus positivity increased to 14.8% compared with 10.9% the previous week. Everyone is encouraged to practice good hygiene with frequent handwashing and using tissues to reduce the spread.

Dr Jamie Lopez Bernal, Consultant Epidemiologist at UKHSA, said:

Flu and COVID-19 levels are starting to slowly increase. While this is to be expected at this time of year, now is the time for people to come forward for their winter vaccines if they’re eligible, before we start to see more of these viruses in circulation in the winter months.

Vaccination offers the best protection against flu, COVID-19 and RSV which is why it’s vital that eligible groups get vaccinated.

If you have symptoms of flu or COVID-19 such as a high temperature, cough and feeling tired and achy, try to limit your contact with others, especially those who are vulnerable. If you have symptoms and need to leave the house, our advice remains that you should wear a face covering. Washing hands regularly and using and disposing tissues in bins can reduce the spread of respiratory illnesses.

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 Andover College 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 Andover College 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
We also pledge the following:

-working with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for Service Leavers

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 list only includes organisations who have asked to be included, so not every certifier in England, Scotland and Wales is listed.

If you want to export animals and animal products from the UK, you need to make sure someone signs an export health certificate (EHC) (https://www.gov.uk/export-health-certificates) for your type of consignment.

This will be an Official Veterinarian (OV) or a local authority Food Competent Certifying Officer (FCCO). They will check that your consignment meets the health requirements of the destination country.

You can use this list to help you find an organisation that has certifiers permitted to certify your consignment. Not every certifier will be able to certify every consignment. You must also check with them that they are registered to use EHC Online (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/certify-an-export-health-certificate). They will not be able to issue most certificates until they have registered.

There’s no fee for the certificate but you will usually be charged for the certifier’s time.

If your organisation offers export certification and you want it to be added to the list, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx).

If you are in Northern Ireland, contact DAERA (https://www.daera-ni.gov.uk/contact).

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 Cornwall Training & Consultancy 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;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Cornwall Training & Consultancy 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 Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

Up to 2 weeks per year special paid leave is available to attend annual training camps, for reservists and cadets

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.

Government Property Profession career framework
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-22)

A career framework to support the development of property professionals across government.

The Government Property Career Framework (GPCF) supports the development of property professionals across government and shows the breadth of opportunities and career pathways available in the property profession.

The framework simplifies the roles in Government Property to five job families and twenty-two core roles.

Each role includes a description of the type of work, and expectations of skills and experience at each level.

There are four levels and standards of career progression so you can identify professional development goals for current and future roles. The framework also maps potential career paths.

The framework will help you identify your next step in a property career including what experience, qualifications and technical skills you’ll need to get there. It will help you decide what your strengths are by looking at the skills and behaviours you use every day and seeing where these can take you when considering your career aspirations.
