Annex 3: alcohol withdrawal symptoms
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-28)

A summary of common alcohol withdrawal symptoms and serious complications of alcohol withdrawal. Alcohol treatment staff should be able to understand and recognise the signs of alcohol withdrawal.

Common alcohol withdrawal symptoms

People who are mildly dependent may experience some milder symptoms of alcohol withdrawal including:
- sweating
- nausea
- shaking (mild tremor)
Generally, people experiencing these milder symptoms do not require medical treatment. However, those who are moderately or severely alcohol dependent will develop acute alcohol withdrawal syndrome when they abruptly stop or substantially reduce their alcohol consumption. This can lead to severe complications requiring an urgent pharmacological response.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence clinical guideline Alcohol-use disorders: diagnosis, assessment and management of harmful drinking (high-risk drinking) and alcohol dependence (CG115 full guideline) (PDF, 10.7MB) (https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg115/evidence/full-guideline-pdf-136423405) notes that common symptoms of alcohol withdrawal include:
- tremor
- nausea
- sweating
- headache
- mood disturbance including anxiety and agitation
- disturbed sleep pattern
- hyperacusis (sensitivity to sound)
- hyperthermia (increased body temperature)
- tachycardia (increased pulse rate)
- increased respiratory rate
- tactile and visual disturbances (itching, burning and double or blurry vision)
Serious complications of alcohol withdrawal

The alcohol guidelines development group notes that serious complications of alcohol withdrawal include:
- seizures (fits)
- auditory and visual hallucinations
- delirium tremens (severe shaking, agitation, fever, tachycardia, profound confusion, delusions and hallucinations)
- Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (short and long term memory problems, impaired eye movements or unsteady walking)
Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can be life threatening in severe cases, requiring urgent medical attention.

You can find guidance on managing the symptoms and complications of alcohol withdrawal in the chapter 10 on pharmacological interventions.

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 Royal HaskoningDHV 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 Royal HaskoningDHV 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:

Civil Society Covenant: National Youth Strategy
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-17)

Putting young people at the heart of policy development.

Young people have been in the driving seat of co-producing a new National Youth Strategy since its announcement in November 2024 by the DCMS Secretary of State as part of the government’s mission to improve opportunities.

As a first step, to ensure that youth voices would be at the heart of the process, the government appointed 13 diverse young people to form a Youth Advisory Group (YAG) and bring lived experience across key areas including advocacy, violence prevention, social mobility and mental health. An Expert Advisory Group of 14 experts from a variety of sectors sat alongside the YAG to bring expertise from relevant sectors, providing input and challenging thinking.

DCMS partnered with an expert consortium - market research consultancy Savanta, My Life My Say and the #iwill Movement with coordination from Volunteering Matters and UK Youth - to set up a youth-led engagement campaign to ensure young people from all areas of the country had the opportunity to have their say. The consortium worked with ten Youth Collaborators to ensure all campaign activities were genuinely designed and led by young people. The “Deliver You” campaign used a range of innovative and targeted methods to ensure underrepresented groups were able to get their voices heard. The campaign captured insights from over 20,000 young people.

Outcomes

Our approach has empowered young people to lead change at the heart of policy making and in their own lives. Their lived experiences including their worries and hopes for the future will form the basis of a new ten year ambition for young people in the National Youth Strategy.
College for National Security
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-24)

Find out how the College for National Security is breaking down barriers to improving understanding of national security across the Civil Service and beyond.

About the college

The College for National Security provides learning across the Civil Service and wider public sector about the threats faced by the UK and the actions needed to counter them. To respond, we need a workforce that is knowledgeable, skilled and connected.

Led by Andrew Millar, pictured, the college is part of Government Skills and is closely tied to the National Security Secretariat.

Its aim is to build responsiveness and effectiveness in the National Security practitioner community and to support other professions to learn more about national security.

Learning it offers

The college is deepening professional skills and connecting and broadening our reach beyond the traditional National Security departments.

The college’s foundational learning offer aims to take national security understanding beyond the core departments and out into the wider civil service. It aims to support our community to ensure that policy and operations are well-informed, and that staff have access to the skills needed.

Practitioner level training aims to deepen the skills of those currently working in national security, with access to deeper expert level training for team leaders within the profession. We will form a community of experts encompassing devolved governments and nations to better identify and mitigate threats.

Specialist training will remain the domain of departments and professions.

Who can access learning

Training is available to all civil service learners. The college aims to deliver at all classification levels, creating a common knowledge baseline, and sharing best practice.

King scallop temporary closure decision
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-06)

Marine Management Organisation (MMO) has today announced its decision on a temporary closure to fishing with dredges for king scallops in ICES areas 7d and Lyme Bay (7e) in 2025.

The decision, designed to protect stocks during spawning, is based on extensive analysis of the latest scientific and economic evidence, responses to a consultation last year and wider engagement with stakeholders.

The decision is for a temporary closure in 2025 in:

ICES division 7d for UK and EU vessels over 10 m in length from 1 July to 30 September 2025.

Lyme Bay area of 7e (ICES rectangles 29E6, 29E7, 30E6 and 30E7) for UK and EU vessels over 12 m in length from 1 July to 30 September 2025.

The latest scientific analysis reveals that the population levels and health of king scallops in the closure area are in a improved state than in preceding years and could support a shorter closure period to support spawning.

The length of the closure this year has also been designed to reduce risks of king scallop fishers moving more of their fishing effort to other grounds which may not be able to support the increase in fishing without potentially harming sensitive species.

This closure length has sought to balance the environmental needs of the spawning stocks, with the socio-economic impacts expressed by stakeholders during the 2024 extended closure.

MMO has continued to permit under 10m vessels to fish in 7d and under 12m vessels to fish in the Lyme Bay area of 7e. This decision is based on levels of scallop landings observed from these vessels, which at existing levels do not introduce significant risk to the aim of protecting stocks, whilst considering the importance of the inshore fleet to the local communities.

The closure will be enacted through a licence variation. Further information on a summary of responses received and reasoning behind the decision is available here (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-ices-area-7d-and-lyme-bay-king-scallop-dredge-fishery-closure-2025).

UN Human Rights Council 60: UK Statement for the Interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on Burundi
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-19)

UK Statement for the Interactive dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on Burundi. Delivered at the 60th HRC in Geneva.

Thank you, Mr. President.

We thank the Special Rapporteur for their latest update and continued efforts to monitor the human rights situation in Burundi. We urge the government of Burundi to allow him full access and to reopen the OHCHR country office.

Mr. President, following the recent elections, we again welcome the non-violent and timely way in which they were conducted. However, we note with concern the serious irregularities reflected in this report, including voter intimidation, fraudulent registrations, shrinking civic space, and the suppression of opposition voices. We call on Burundi to protect the freedoms of expression, assembly and association, including by revising legal frameworks that curtail media freedom.

We further call on Burundi to ensure accountability for human rights violations via impartial investigations and judicial independence, especially with regards to arbitrary arrests and detentions, and enforced disappearances.

To the Special Rapporteur we ask: how can the international community support Burundi to strengthen its democratic processes and to protect human rights, especially in the run up to the 2027 elections?

It is the means by which customs authority can identify the exported goods when the processed products are re-imported. It must also state the rate of yield which is expected to obtain from the exported goods.

Standardised exchange of information

The standardised exchange of information is an EU document which must always be completed in duplicate when a movement involves another Member State (previously known as 'triangulation') ie the re-import of the processed products will be to another Member State, not the UK.

International Information Document

This is another type of identifying document the use of which has been agreed by some of the member countries of the World Customs Organisation to assist in the identification of temporarily exported goods. It can be used in addition to the standardised exchange of information in cases where it may be difficult to identify the exported goods in the processed products. The UK version is Form C 1055.

Provider level information on the number and proportion of admitted adult patients who have been risk assessed for Venous thromboembolism (VTE).

The mandatory data collection started in June 2010; it was paused during the pandemic and following a consultation process, has been reinstated and is ongoing until further notice.

The data collection asks for the following information:
- number of patients aged 16 and over admitted as acute inpatients in the month who have been risk assessed for VTE on admission to hospital using the criteria in the NICE guidance
- total number of inpatients aged 16 and over admitted in the month.
The percentage of inpatients aged 16 and over admitted in the month assessed for risk of VTE on admission is automatically calculated from items (1) and (2)

The collection opens on the first working day of the month following the end of the quarter data is being submitted for. The trusts are required to upload their data on VTE risk assessment onto SDCS and signed off before the submission deadline which is the last working day of the same month.

Official statistics are produced impartially and free from political influence.

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.

Universal Periodic Review 49: UK Statement on Lesotho
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-01)

Statement by the UK's Ambassador for Human Rights to the UN, Eleanor Sanders, at Lesotho's Universal Periodic Review at the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Thank you, Mr Vice-President,

We thank Lesotho for explaining their efforts to protect human rights.

We particularly welcome the implementation of existing legislation to address gender-based violence. We urge the government to tackle structural drivers of gender-based violence and extend support services for survivors, particularly in rural areas.

We call on the government to protect the rights of those living and working in the vicinity of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project. Providing adequate compensation, employment benefits and educational opportunities, and safeguarding women from sexual exploitation are vital.

Lastly, we encourage Lesotho to address inequities in early years education by supporting children from the ebaPhuti and Xhosa peoples to access educational resources in their indigenous languages.

We recommend that Lesotho:

Provides communities affected by the Lesotho Highlands Water Project with adequate compensation, and access to related electricity, employment and educational opportunities.

Extends support services for women and girls in both rural and urban areas across Lesotho, including for survivors of sexual violence.

Implements a strategy to support children from the ebaPhuti and Xhosa peoples to access educational resources in their indigenous languages.

Thank you.
