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 Specialist Computer Centres PLC 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 Specialist Computer Centres PLC 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
- 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.

Managing risk-reduction even in times of crisis: UK Statement to the OSCE
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-14)

Ambassador Holland reiterates the UK’s support to Ukraine, calls on Russia to end its war and to use this unique Forum for risk-reduction, even in crisis.

Thank you Madam Chair, dear Kaja, and to the Secretary General, for setting out Estonia’s priorities for the Forum for Security Co-operation this Trimester. You can count on the UK’s continued support, as you chair our Forum at this crucial time for Euro-Atlantic Security.

Madam Chair, as we know, the FSC’s mandate is broad and has rightly evolved over decades. In 1996, our Heads of State and Government adopted a Decision tasking the Forum to manage “preventive diplomacy, crisis management and post-conflict rehabilitation”. In the 1996 Budapest Document, Ministers tasked the FSC with: “tackling regional security problems (including crises) flexibly in ways appropriate to each case”. So not only did our Ministers mandate the Forum to manage risk-reduction, they also saw value in our politico-military dialogue continuing even in times of crisis.

The OSCE has an extensive acquis and toolkit to do this work. But it relies on political will to be effective. Participating States have used the toolkit, including transparency mechanisms, to offer de-escalation. For example, by Georgia in 2008, by Ukraine - twenty times - in 2014, and again by Ukraine in 2022. As these examples proved, transparency mechanisms can offer a ladder to defuse a situation or at least an early warning indicator. But no tool can substitute for the political will required to de-escalate. Especially if that State has decided to invade, as Russia’s actions have shown so clearly.

Madam Chair, the Code of Conduct commits us to act in solidarity if OSCE norms and commitments are violated. As catalogued by the OSCE Moscow Mechanisms, ODIHR and UN, there is irrefutable independent evidence of Russia violating international law. As per the Code, such breaches are a “direct and legitimate” concern for us all.

That is why our weekly statements will continue reiterating our support for Ukraine and calling for Russia to end its war and return to abiding by the UN Charter and the Helsinki Final Act. That is why we welcome Estonia’s three Security Dialogue topics on the Code of Conduct; Women, Peace & Security; and protection of children in armed conflicts, keeping a focus on Russia’s invasion. That is also why we will keep on using this Forum and its tools to execute our mandate, including on risk-reduction and voluntary briefs on military exercises.

Madam Chair, our Ministers mandated the Forum to hold a weekly politico-military dialogue in order to execute our vital mandate. We can only do that if we respect the Forum and meet weekly to fulfil, not to frustrate, its work.

I wish to conclude by welcoming Finland to the FSC Troika, and to thank Denmark for their work as they leave the Troika. And most importantly, I wish you, Madam Chair, and your able teams here in Vienna and in Tallinn the best of luck this Trimester. You can count on the support of the UK delegation.

How to use a risk of NEET indicator (RONI) approach to identify at-risk young people, support participation and post-16 transition, and prevent NEET.

This guidance provides a benchmark of good practice on how to proactively identify young people at risk of being not in education, employment or training (NEET) using risk factors and data. It also clarifies each partner’s role and how to collaborate effectively on this shared priority.

The guidance supports a preventative approach to keeping young people in education and training, and to supporting their transition into further learning and onward into fulfilling work.

It can be used alongside the statutory guidance on the participation of young people in education, employment and training (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/participation-of-young-people-education-employment-and-training), which sets out what local authorities must do to comply with the law.

It is for:
- local authority staff who are responsible for delivering the statutory duties to ensure the participation of young people up to the age of 18
- school and college leaders, and staff with responsibility for careers education and supporting students’ transition into post-16 education and training

Joint UK-Cayman Islands Statement

Joint statement from Minister of State for the Overseas Territories Stephen Doughty and Cayman Islands Premier André Ebanks, following a meeting in London on 17 June 2025

Minister of State for the Overseas Territories Stephen Doughty and Cayman Islands Premier André Ebanks met in London yesterday to discuss key areas of partnership and UK support for the Cayman Islands Government’s priorities following their recent elections.

The wide-ranging discussion covered areas of mutual collaboration, including the environment, security, financial services and sanctions. Minister Doughty welcomed the Cayman Islands’ commitment to preserving its pristine marine environment and thanked Premier Ebanks for Cayman’s support to other Overseas Territories in times of need, most recently in Anguilla. Recognising the importance of UK funded programmes, including the Darwin Initiative, the UK and Cayman Islands governments will continue their partnership on environmental protection, including their work together in the Blue Belt Programme.

Premier Ebanks and Minister Doughty also re-affirmed their shared desire to tackling illicit finance and sanctions evasion. Minister Doughty recognised that the Cayman Islands are a world leader in high quality, modern and resilient financial services. Minister Doughty praised the Cayman Islands’ leading regional role in implementing UK sanctions, including freezing over $9 billion of Russia-linked assets.

Minister Doughty welcomed the important steps taken by the Cayman Islands to promote greater corporate transparency, including launching a register of beneficial ownership information in February 2025 accessible to those with legitimate interest such as accredited journalists, academic researchers, and members of certain civil society organisations. Minister Doughty also welcomed Premier Ebanks’ commitment to make further enhancements to their beneficial ownership register – on a legitimate interest basis – with more streamlined processes for multiple search requests, including on fees. They agreed to continue work to enhance greater cooperation through reciprocal information sharing by competent authorities (including law enforcement). We will review these changes together in the coming weeks, in line with the parameters for registers of beneficial ownership agreed between Overseas Territory leaders and the UK Government at the Joint Ministerial Council in November 2024.

Premier Ebanks and Minister Doughty confirmed their desire to further deepen the modern UK-Cayman Islands partnership and looked forward to Minister Doughty’s upcoming visit to the Cayman Islands in September 2025. Minister Doughty reiterated the firm commitment of his government to the sovereignty, security and defence of the Overseas Territories.

Sections 1 – 3 and 6 of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992 (SSCBA)

Regulation 145 of the Social Security Contributions Regulations 2001 (SSCR)

Where an employed earner is paid earnings when abroad for work carried out wholly or partially in the UK then a NICs liability arises only on those earnings earned whilst resident, present or ordinarily resident in the UK.

Different rules may apply if an employee is covered under;
- A Social Security Agreement see NIM33670 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim33670)
- Regulation 146 of SSCR 2001 see NIM33685 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim33685)
Example

Tom lived and worked in the UK before moving permanently to Argentina, a country with which the UK does not have a social security agreement, in March 2023. In June 2023 Tom was informed that he would be awarded unrestricted shares worth £30,000 for the employment in the UK between January and December 2022 and the shares were paid to him in December 2023. The shares in this case are chargeable under s62 ITEPA 2003, for shares chargeable under Part 7 ITEPA03 please see NIM06870 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim06870).

Although Tom is not an employed earner in the UK at the time the shares were transferred to him, a liability for UK NICs arises on the full amount because they were earned wholly in the UK when Tom was subject to UK’s social security legislation.

For more general information about NICs liabilities on shares see NIM06800 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/national-insurance-manual/nim06800)

Upper Tribunal Administrative Appeals Chamber decision by Judge Stout on 28 February 2025

Read the full decision in UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-V (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/681df648db6463b14cd81852/UA-xx-xxxx-xxxx-V.pdf)

Judicial Summary

The Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) decided to include the appellant on the children’s and adults’ barred lists because she had slept whilst on duty as a Night Support Worker. The Upper Tribunal decided that while DBS was correct that the appellant had slept whilst on duty, DBS had made material mistakes of fact in its decision in finding that the appellant intended to sleep whilst on duty and as to her attitude and response to the incident. The Upper Tribunal made a preliminary decision that DBS had made mistakes of fact, but adjourned consideration of the appellant’s further ground of appeal, which was based on the proportionality of DBS’s decision. The parties were invited to make further submissions on proportionality. DBS then reviewed its decision of its own motion under paragraph 18A of Schedule 3 to the Safeguarding of Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 and decided to remove the appellant from the registers. The parties then consented to the appeal being disposed of by consent. This document includes both the Upper Tribunal’s Decision On Preliminary Issue and the Consent Order.

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.
