Victims and Courts Bill
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-07)

The government has introduced the Victims and Courts Bill to Parliament today (7 May 2025).

Victims will be better protected than ever following the introduction of the Victims and Courts Bill. The Bill, delivered as part of the government’s Plan for Change, will help victims get the justice they deserve. For the first time ever, judges will be able to hand down prison punishments for cowardly criminals who refuse to attend their sentencing hearing. The powers of the Victims’ Commissioner will also be strengthened, empowering them to play a greater role in individual cases and requiring them to produce an independent report on compliance with the Victims’ Code.

The Bill will:
- create an express statutory power for judges to order offenders to attend their sentencing hearings so that these criminals have to face the consequences of their actions
- restrict parental responsibility for child sex offenders sentenced for four years or more for an offence against a child for whom they hold parental responsibility
- provide victims with certainty about the routes available to receive information about an offender while they are serving their sentence
- strengthen the powers of the Victims’ Commissioner
- increase flexibility for the Director of Public Prosecutions in appointing Crown Prosecutors
- set rates at which prosecutor costs in private prosecutions can be recovered from Central Funds
- amend the time limit for the Attorney General to refer a sentence to the Court of Appeal on the grounds that it is unduly lenient
- amend Magistrates Court Sentencing Powers for 6 either-way offences

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 Julius Baer International Limited 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 Julius Baer International Limited 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
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities

Birmingham man convicted of providing false statements to SIA
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-22)

Ahroon Alam was ordered to pay fines and costs totalling £612 after pleading guilty to knowingly making false statements to the SIA.

Mr Alam submitted a fabricated character reference from a Birmingham food bank as part of his appeal against the Security Industry Authority’s decision to refuse his application for a door supervisor licence due to his past criminality.

The SIA investigated the validity of this reference, speaking to multiple senior staff within the food bank who confirmed they did not know Mr Alam and had not provided him with a reference.

Mr Alam appeared at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on 13 May 2025 and pleaded guilty at the earliest possible opportunity. The court fined him £80 and ordered him to pay both a £32 victim surcharge and £500 of prosecution costs.

Dave McCall, SIA Criminal Investigations Officer, said:

The SIA’s licensing regime is put in place to ensure door supervisors are trained and committed to protecting the public, but that regime is built on the foundation that people present truthful information.

In producing this false character reference, Ahroon Alam undermined those foundations and sought to put the public at risk. I am happy to see justice delivered in this case.

Background

By law, security operatives working under contract must hold and display a valid SIA licence. Information about SIA enforcement and penalties (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/learn-how-we-enforce-sia-regulation) can be found on GOV.UK/SIA (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/security-industry-authority).

The offence relating to the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2001/12/contents) that is mentioned above is:
- Section 22 – making any statement to the Authority which is known to be false in a material particular
The SIA is the organisation responsible for regulating the private security industry in the UK, reporting to the Home Secretary under the terms of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2001/12/contents). The SIA’s main duties are the compulsory licensing of individuals undertaking designated activities and managing the voluntary Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS).

Authorisation decisions: UK REACH
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-16)

Authorisation decisions on the time-limited use of hazardous substances of very high concern under UK REACH.

Authorisation is the process under UK REACH that phases out the use of hazardous substances of very high concern (SVHCs). It ensures that these SVHCs are progressively replaced by safer alternatives. Granting an authorisation allows the use of substances on the authorisation list to continue temporarily when the relevant criteria are met.

Applications for authorisation are submitted to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Decisions on whether to grant applications for authorisation are made by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Consent from the Scottish ministers and Welsh ministers is required for these decisions where the matter relates to devolved competence. The HSE supports this process by providing the Secretary of State, and Scottish and Welsh ministers, with scientific advice.

The HSE has published a database (https://www.hse.gov.uk/reach/applications-for-authorisation.htm) that lists:
- applications for authorisation received by the HSE, including links to the HSE’s opinion (if available) and the decision made by the Secretary of State (if available)
- transitional applications under Article 127G (see below) and the decision made by the Secretary of State (if available)
- authorisations that have been carried over (‘grandfathered’) from EU REACH

The role of the UK Emissions Trading Scheme in UK decarbonisation and how the UK ETS Authority is developing the scheme.

The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) currently covers the heavy industry, power and aviation sectors – approximately 25% of UK territorial emissions.

The scheme incentivises investment in decarbonisation in line with climate targets across the UK, by setting a cap on emissions from these sectors and creating a carbon price.

The UK ETS Authority (consisting of the UK, Scottish, and Welsh Governments, and the Northern Ireland Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs) is working to expand and develop the scheme to incentivise additional sectors of the economy.

This sets out:
- the policy aims of the UK ETS
- how it works
- the work the UK ETS Authority is doing to develop it

Consultation on the merchant shipping (vessels in commercial use for sport or pleasure) regulations 2025
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-28)

This consultation seeks your views on a new Statutory Instrument and accompanying Code of Practice for Small Vessels in Commercial use for Sport or Pleasure (“Sport or Pleasure Vessel Code”).

The Merchant Shipping (Vessels in Commercial Use for Sport or Pleasure) Regulations 2025 (“the new Regulations”) will apply to vessels used commercially for Sport or Pleasure. The new Regulations will apply to seagoing United Kingdom vessels wherever they may be and to other seagoing vessels operating from United Kingdom ports whilst in United Kingdom waters.

The new Regulations will revoke and replace the Merchant Shipping (Vessels in Commercial Use for Sport or Pleasure) Regulations 1998 (S.I. 1998/2771) (“the 1998 Regulations”). The new Regulations will give effect to two Codes of Practice: Part A of the REG Yacht Code for large vessels of 24 metres or more load line length and the new “Sport or Pleasure Vessel Code” for small vessels of less than 24 metres load line length. The new Regulations will provide a more coherent legal framework for operators of large or small vessels operating commercially for sport or pleasure.

Part A of the REG Yacht Code already has effect. The REG Yacht Code is not the subject of this consultation; however, the new Regulations will continue to give effect to this Code as well as set out comprehensive requirements for the survey and certification of large vessels.

The new Sport or Pleasure Vessel Code reflects the development of standards since the publication of the previous editions, addresses a number of key Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) recommendations into improving safety standards for vessels in this sector and contains a regulatory framework for vessels using alternative fuel sources and propulsion types that will keep the UK at the forefront of decarbonising the shipping industry.

The new Regulations also make consequential amendments to other instruments to ensure that the requirements for vessels in commercial use for sport or pleasure apply consistently across the maritime regulatory framework.

NHS injury costs recovery scheme
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-28)

Guidance for NHS trusts on the application of the NHS injury costs recovery (ICR) scheme for 2025 to 2026.

This document is for NHS trusts and NHS foundation trusts who provide treatment for injuries where costs are recoverable under the NHS ICR scheme (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/dh-nhs-injury-costs-recovery-scheme).

It sets out the circumstances and processes for recovering costs. It gives guidance on how ICR payments should be recorded in annual accounts.

The idea behind the scheme is that those responsible for causing injury to others should meet the cost of NHS treatment. NHS costs are recovered only where personal injury compensation is paid - for example, after a road traffic accident. Funds recovered come primarily from a third-party compensator or insurer.

On 24 June 2025 Defra held a roundtable ahead of the second part of the fifth session of negotiations to agree a global plastics treaty (INC-5.2). The event built on a roundtable held on 6 November 2024 ahead of INC-5.

Both roundtables were co-chaired by Minister Emma Hardy and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. The roundtables brought together businesses from across the plastic value chain to discuss how the private sector can support the agreement and implementation of an ambitious plastics treaty.

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
