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 KIM Inspire 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 KIM Inspire 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
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.

Exercise Synergy prepares CNC apprentices for success
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-24)

Civil Nuclear Constabulary apprentice officers put their learning into action as they head towards end point assessments.

Apprentice officers from Initial Foundation Programme (IFP) 99 took part in Exercise Synergy, a mock training event aimed at bringing classroom learning into a real-world environment.

Run by our Professional Development Unit (PDU) and held across several days at Sellafield and Culham, the exercise prepares the officers for their upcoming Non-Home Office Police Officer Apprenticeship (NHOPOA) end point assessment (EPA). By putting the officers face-to-face with authentic CNC-focussed scenarios, the PDU can assess apprentices’ readiness and provide valuable feedback and learning points.

By combining written, practical, and reflective elements, Exercise Synergy reinforces core policing skills such as effective communication, proportionate decision making, and professional integrity. It also gives apprentices the opportunity to test themselves in a supportive environment, ensuring they are better equipped for the realities of frontline policing.

Sergeant Dave Marsden, PDU Lead said: “By bringing together PDU Leads from across our nuclear and non-nuclear sites, these events help us align as a force-wide training team and ensure consistency so that every apprentice receives the same high standard of training.”

Sergeant Will Roberts, PDU Lead, added: “The planning of Exercise Synergy is a big undertaking that involves PDU Leads from across the entire organisation liaising with other departments and pulling together to ensure it runs smoothly and effectively. As part of developing Exercise Synergy, PDU has taken inspiration from best practices used by other emergency services, applying proven approaches to strengthen planning and coordination. The knowledge that it is contributing to apprentices being successful at their EPAs makes all the effort worthwhile and is an endeavour that PDU will continue to support and develop long into the future.”

The apprentice officers of IFP 99 will be completing their EPAs in early 2026. The EPA includes a written exam, a practical scenario, and a 75-minute discussion on the portfolio evidence collected throughout their apprenticeship.

Shipping fleet statistics: 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-26)

Size of the UK and world shipping fleets on 31 December 2024.

About this release

This statistical release presents summary statistics for UK and world shipping fleets. It provides different measures of UK shipping interests, set in the global context, including analysis by country of registration (flag) and trading vessel type. Every merchant ship must be registered in a country (the ‘flag state’) and ship registration can, in part, be considered as an indicator of the overall health of a country’s maritime sector. All figures are based on vessels of 100 gross tonnes or over. Other variables and a longer time series are available in accompanying data tables (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/shipping-fleet-statistics).

Overview of shipping fleet statistics

Gross tonnage on the UK Ship Register (UKSR) decreased at the end of December 2024 to 9.9 million gross tonnes, decreasing 5% from 2023.

Based on world fleet data (supplied by Sea/) for trading vessels only, at the end of December 2024, the UK registered trading fleet:

was the 27th largest trading fleet in the world, based on a gross tonnage. This dropped 5 positions from 2023

accounted for 23% of deadweight tonnage of the Red Ensign Group trading fleet, which, when taken as a whole, would be the world’s 11th largest trading fleet

Sentence increased for prisoner who killed his cellmate
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-27)

A man who killed his cellmate while in custody awaiting trial had his sentence extended after the Solicitor General intervened.

Vitale Tanga (41), originally from Moldova and of no fixed address, has had his sentence increased by five years after the Solicitor General referred his case to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence (ULS) scheme.

The court heard that in September 2022, Tanga strangled his cellmate, Tajinder Kular, with a kettle cord.

Kular was discovered unconscious by officers and taken to the prison hospital. He died in October 2022 from complications arising from resuscitation and cardiac arrest, and ligature strangulation.

A postmortem found he had ligature marks round his neck, as well as bruising to his face and several broken bones in his neck.

At the time of the murder of Mr Kular, Vitale Tanga was on remand in prison awaiting trial for assault and under investigation for the unrelated murder of Alfred Mattox in 2021.

Vitalie Tanga was originally sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 25 years for Mr Mattox’s murder. Then on 3 July 2025, following his trial for Mr Kular’s murder, he was sentenced to life with a minimum of 27 years and 6 months, to run concurrent with his previous sentence.

The Solicitor General Ellie Reeves MP said:

Vitale Tanga is a violent man, who murdered two men in brutal attacks.

He has not taken any responsibility for his actions and I welcome the court’s decision to extend his sentence after he killed his cell mate, keeping this dangerous offender off our streets and keeping our communities safe.

On 25 November 2025, the Court of Appeal extended Vitale Tanga’s sentence by 5 years to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 32 years and 6 months.
Planning Inspectorate spending over £250: June 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-15)

All Planning Inspectorate spending over £250 during June 2025

The Planning Inspectorate has determined that the publication of spend data that does or is likely to identify those individuals’ supplying planning appeal decisions services, regardless of the way they supply the services, would pose a credible threat to their personal security. We used the Freedom of Information Act (FOI) as our frame of reference to make this judgement. More specifically that the publication of these spend data is “exempt under FOI to protect the identities of companies and individuals providing services to HM Government”, in particular “where disclosure of either paying department or recipient would pose a personal security threat”. The very real likelihood of a personal security threat is sufficient grounds for redacting spend data that we would ordinarily publish.

Candidozyma auris: guidance for acute healthcare settings
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-21)

Candidozyma auris (C.auris): laboratory investigation, management and infection prevention and control of cases.

The yeast formerly known as Candida auris has been reclassified as Candidozyma auris following a taxonomic revision in 2023.

Candidozyma auris (C. auris) is a rapidly emerging fungal pathogen with a global distribution. Designated a critical priority fungal pathogen by the World Health Organization in 2022, C. auris can result in colonisations, severe invasive infections and outbreaks within healthcare settings. Resistance has developed to many available classes of antifungals, including the first-line antifungal agent fluconazole, with the emergence of pan-resistant strains. In non-UK settings, invasive disease has been associated with significant mortality.

This guidance outlines recommendations for the laboratory investigation, management, and infection prevention and control practices associated with C. auris in healthcare settings.

This update supersedes the previous guidance, released in 2017.

CG13130 - Introduction and computation: occasions of charge: assets lost/destroyed/negligible value: date of deemed disposal/reacquisition
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-30)


The decision in Williams (H.M. Inspector of Taxes) v Bullivant [1983] established the general rule that the date of the deemed disposal and reacquisition is the date of the claim. Any resulting loss thus arises at the date of the claim. The date of the claim is the date on which the claim is received by HMRC.

Section 24(2) of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1992/12/section/24) explains the timing of the disposal and reacquisition of the asset and the conditions required to claim an earlier time.

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 Ethos Heritage CiC 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 Ethos Heritage CiC 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
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
