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 Grangewood Surgery 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 Grangewood Surgery 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.

On 5 September 2024 a License Withdrawal was made against Matthew Fox, an ICAEW member

Summary of complaints: Having become aware of significant late/outstanding statutory filing, and following a subsequent risk visit to Mr Fox at short notice, the ILC had concerns re extensive filing issues.

It was noted that Mr Fox was extremely slow at responding the ILC’s queries during the visit and that these, as well as the other issues (including concerns about the accuracy of cashbooks and the receipts and payments accounts provided to them) demonstrate extensive and systemic filing issues.

VCM40070 - Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS): SEIS disposal relief: income tax relief reduced
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-06)


TCGA92/S150F

The CGT exemption may have to be restricted if the investor's Income Tax relief is reduced because they have received value from the company and ITA07/S257FE(2)(a) applies, see VCM36040 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/venture-capital-schemes-manual/vcm36040).

The restriction is calculated as follows:
- compute the chargeable gain in the normal way including the operation of TCGA92/S150E(5), see VCM40040 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/venture-capital-schemes-manual/vcm40040).
- reduce the exemption by an amount calculated by multiplying the gain by the fraction:
A = Reduction in Income Tax Relief

B Total relief attributable to the shares before any reduction

If TCGA92/S150E (5) applies to reduce the exempt gain, the fraction above should be applied to the exempt part of the gain and the reduction made from that part. If the relief has been reduced on more than one occasion the numerator of the fraction is the total amount of all the reductions.

The effect of this formula is illustrated by examples at VCM40080 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/venture-capital-schemes-manual/vcm40080) and VCM40090 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/venture-capital-schemes-manual/vcm40090).

Notice of Intention to Accept a Settlement Proposal: ProQual
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-06)

Ofqual intends to accept a settlement proposal from ProQual to pay a monetary penalty and commission an independent audit to provide assurance of compliance with its Conditions of Recognition.

Between November 2021 and November 2022, Ofqual carried out an investigation into ProQual’s compliance with its Conditions of Recognition. The investigation identified significant record keeping failures by ProQual which meant that it was unable to demonstrate how it had complied with its own centre approval and centre monitoring processes. Further, the investigation found evidence that ProQual was not adhering to its own Centre Assessment Standards Scrutiny (CASS) strategy, in circumstances where Centres were responsible for marking assessments completed by Learners. The investigation also highlighted failures to properly identify and monitor actual or potential conflicts of interest which related to it, including in particular a potential conflict of interest relating to a ProQual approved centre that was owned by ProQual’s shareholders.

ProQual has since admitted that it breached Conditions A4, A5, A8 and H2 of its Conditions of Recognition in the ways set out in the attached Notice of Intention, and signed a settlement proposal by which it:

Agrees to pay the Monetary Penalty of £15,000

Agrees to commission an independent audit at its own expense to provide assurance as to the extent to which its processes and record keeping are now compliant with its Conditions of Recognition

The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) closed on 31 March 2025. All activity has moved to the Department for Education (DfE). You should continue to follow this guidance.

In November 2022, the statutory FE sector in England was reclassified into the central government sector, meaning that colleges must now meet the overall requirements in HM Treasury’s, ‘Managing Public Money (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/managing-public-money)’, and some other related obligations.

These bite-size guides have been produced to aid colleges in this transition, they cover:
- senior pay controls
- write-offs
- special payments
- indemnities, letters of comfort and guarantees
- asset disposals
A separate guide covering novel, contentious or repercussive (NCR) transactions (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ncr-transactions-in-colleges-and-academy-trusts) is also available.

College staff are strongly encouraged to read these guides and must take any actions necessary resulting from the new arrangements.

Where approval for transactions is required from the Department for Education (DfE) under these new arrangements, colleges should be aware that in some cases DfE will need to liaise with HM Treasury to secure approval and should therefore allow sufficient time for these necessary processes.

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 Jubilee Sailing Trust 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 Jubilee Sailing Trust 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
- Discounts
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.
