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 Albert Bartlett 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;

Airborne allergens and green infrastructure

The UK government has set regulations to manage the health risks from airborne allergens like mould and pollen, as well as bioaerosols.

Biodiversity net gain (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/biodiversity-net-gain)

Birch pollen and allergy for healthcare professionals - Allergy UK (https://www.allergyuk.org/for-healthcare-professionals/birch-pollen-hcp/)

The UK government has introduced the Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirement (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/biodiversity-net-gain) under the Environment Act 2021 (1 (#refs)). Under the BNG requirement, developers must ensure a 10% net gain in biodiversity, meaning a development must leave a better quality natural habitat than was there prior to its creation (1 (#refs)). This could be through creating biodiversity on-site, or through purchasing off-site biodiversity units on the market, or through purchasing biodiversity credits (1 (#refs)). Local authorities should enforce these regulations and require biodiversity assessments and long-term ecological management plans to maintain and enhancing green spaces, wildlife habitats, and urban greenery.

While green spaces reduce pollution, they can also introduce airborne allergens like pollen that have health implications for those with respiratory conditions such as asthma (2 (#refs)). It is therefore important to select vegetation at new developments that contribute to biodiversity net gain whilst also minimising the pollen load (2 (#refs)). For example, birch trees are favoured by architects and are often included in urban planning but they are one of the main causes of seasonal allergies. Birch pollen can increase allergic sensitisation with 25% of hay fever sufferers affected by it (3 (#refs)).

VATREVCON38000 - How the construction reverse charge works: Payments on account
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-02)


The POA regime requires businesses with a total VAT liability of £2.3 million or more in a period of 12 months or less, and tax periods exceeding one month to make monthly payments on account. As some businesses may be required to account for output tax on their purchases as well as on the onward sale to non-business customers, the reverse charge may have the effect of increasing their net VAT liability.

This can have the effect of bringing them within the scope of POA, or of increasing their monthly payments if they’re already within the regime.

The POA regime has been amended to allow affected businesses to apply to HMRC to exclude the output tax due under the reverse charge from the calculation to establish if a business is subject to POA or the monthly payments a business in POA has to make. Businesses applying for such exclusion should write to:

Payments On Accounts Team Business, Tax and Customs India Buildings 31 Water Street Liverpool L2 0RD

Some businesses may find that their net liability will decrease under the reverse charge; for these businesses, the normal rules outlined in the VAT payments on account (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/vat-payments-on-account) guidance apply.

Experiences of victims of fraud and cyber crime
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-14)

A report detailing the impacts experienced by fraud and cyber crime victims and their experience with victim care services.

This report presents a summary of findings from a survey of victims of fraud and cyber crime who reported their crime into Action Fraud, the national reporting centre for fraud and cyber crime, between July 2017 and May 2018. Some surveyed victims also went on to receive support from law enforcement and the National Economic Crime Victim Care Unit (NECVCU), a pilot designed to deliver services to primarily vulnerable victims. The survey explores:
- The scale and nature of impacts experienced by victims of fraud and cyber crime.
- What support is needed by victims to mitigate impacts.
- Victim perceptions of advice and support received from the NECVCU, Action Fraud and law enforcement.
The research aims to help inform best practice in the provision of support to victims of fraud and cyber crime.

This research was commissioned by the last Conservative government, and prior to 5 July 2024.

Veterans’ Health Innovation Fund: Report
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-28)

This report examines three innovative projects funded through the Veterans’ Health Innovation Fund competition

For those who have served our nation, the journey doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. Every day, veterans across the UK navigate unique healthcare challenges - some visible, others hidden from view. Whether it’s managing chronic pain from injuries sustained in the field, adapting to life-changing physical conditions, or dealing with the unseen scars of service, their wellbeing remains our collective responsibility. These men and women stepped forward to protect our way of life; now it’s our turn to ensure they receive the innovative care and support they deserve.

In 2022, DASA, on behalf of the Office for Veterans’ Affairs launched the “Veterans’ Health Innovation Fund” Themed Competition. This competition sought novel innovations to enhance both the physical and mental healthcare provision for veterans.

This report examines three innovative projects funded through the competition, each addressing distinct but crucial aspects of veterans’ healthcare.

Umio has developed a pioneering digital solution to tackle chronic pain management - a challenge that affects many veterans’ daily lives and their transition to civilian life. Their app provides personalised support not just for veterans, but extends to their partners and families, recognising that pain management is a journey shared by the whole family unit.

Radii Devices is revolutionising prosthetic care through their innovative application, enabling veterans to take control of their prosthetic journey. Their technology allows users to monitor, report, and visualise prosthetic limb fit, creating a vital communication bridge between veterans and their prosthetists.

Nu Tissu is advancing wound care through their groundbreaking E-Plaster® technology. This solution addresses the critical need for rapid and complete wound healing - particularly important for veterans who have experienced blast injuries or trauma. Their innovation promises to transform wound care from a potential barrier to recovery into a manageable, efficient process.

The attached report details their methodologies, presents direct feedback from veterans who have tested these innovations, and outlines the crucial next steps in bringing these solutions to those who need them. Together, these innovations represent a significant step forward in veteran healthcare, with each addressing different aspects of the complex healthcare challenges our veterans face.

This collection provides guidance on the government's information technology strategy.

The government’s approach to technology will provide better public services for less cost. Through disaggregating, re-using, optimising, sharing and modernising our technology, we will improve productivity and efficiency, and reduce waste and the likelihood of project failure.

This will improve public service provision by streamlining internal government operations and processes, supporting both online and offline services for citizens and businesses, and creating channels for collaborating and discussing policy.

Our technology strategy is integrated within the Government Service Design Manual (https://www.gov.uk/service-manual). The manual’s guidance is radically improving the technology landscape to create a more productive, flexible workforce that provides public services in a much more efficient, cost-effective and higher quality way across all service channels, from face-to-face to online.

Chief Technology Officers will find material specifically for them in the Guidance for Chief Technology Officers (https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/technology/index.html) and Resources for Chief Technology Officers (https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/chief-technology-officers). This is living guidance, refined, improved and updated through the active feedback of technology leaders inside and outside of government. It aims to reflect the experiences and best practices in this fast moving area.

The former ‘ICT Strategy’, which ran for 24 months from March 2011, also included 4 separate sub-strands: Greening Government ICT, End User Device Strategy, G-Cloud and Capability. We are updating each of these strands and integrating them with the Service Design Manual to reflect current guidance and practice. Until we complete this process, these documents remain accessible below as originally published in 2011, but please note that some aspects, such as governance models, remain out of date in the interim.

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 Routeways Centre 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;

Update on Shared Rural Network total not-spots project
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-29)

People living and working in mobile signal blackspots across Scotland will be prioritised under changes to the UK government's rollout of 4G coverage.

Since 2020, Building Digital UK (BDUK) and the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) have been working to upgrade mobile connectivity for rural communities in every corner of the UK, as part of the Shared Rural Network (SRN).

The SRN programme has achieved its overarching target a year ahead of schedule, with over 95% of the UK now within range of a 4G mobile signal as a result of all MNOs delivering new infrastructure. The programme has also met its road and premises targets which were due in January 2027 and delivered more than 50 government-funded mast upgrades as part of the SRN’s Extended Area Service (EAS) project.

These significant upgrades have already delivered huge benefits for rural residents, businesses and visitors, helping close the digital divide and boost local economies. It is a great example of what can be achieved when the private and public sector collaborate on targeted investment to address the UK’s digital needs.

The programme is now focusing on addressing the connectivity challenges in more hard-to-reach areas of Great Britain that are total not-spots – i.e. areas with no mobile signal from any operator. We have spent time engaging with local communities and interest groups, especially in Scotland, to understand how best to maximise the benefits of future mobile upgrades.

As a result of these important conversations, the Government and the operators have agreed to prioritise new mobile infrastructure for areas where it will have the biggest positive impact, primarily where people live, work, or travel, including walking and hiking routes. This includes parts of the West Highland Way and Munros Ben Lawers and Ben Vorlich where there is no 4G signal at all, yet walkers and tourists regularly need it – especially in emergency situations.

Under the revised plans, while fewer new masts are planned across rural Scotland, those that are built will provide new mobile coverage to areas such as Glen Coe, the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, Wester Ross, and several islands including the Isle of Mull, South Uist and Skye.

The MNOs are committed to working closely with local communities and will continue to ensure the new masts go through the proper planning processes and are considerate to areas of natural beauty, as well as local history and ecology. Once built, all publicly funded masts are shared by operators to minimise impact on the environment.

An updated map of planned masts is available on the SRN website www.srn.org.uk (https://srn.org.uk/).
