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 Faversham Town Council 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 Faversham Town Council 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 Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
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.

Peer Mentoring Evaluation: A report on final research findings
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-30)

Evaluation findings from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) test of Peer Mentoring for individuals with a substance dependency.

Dame Carol Black’s independent reviews into the impact of employment outcomes on drug and alcohol addiction (reports in 2016 and 2021) highlighted that, alongside treatment, meaningful activity such as employment makes an important contribution to sustaining recovery from a substance dependency. However, individuals with a substance dependency often have complex needs and require specialist intervention to overcome barriers to recovery and employment.

The Peer Mentoring Programme offers one-to-one support from a mentor with lived experience of substance dependency to individuals with a dependency (‘mentees’) to help them to overcome barriers and make progress. Progress can mean different things for different mentees, for example around recovery from dependency, health, wellbeing or the labour market. These are referred to as ‘outcomes’ in this report.

DWP commissioned IFF Research to assess this initiative, and specifically, to:
- understand how Peer Mentoring was implemented and delivered
- examine mentee progression and outcomes
- examine wider outcomes for Jobcentre Plus (JCP) staff, mentors and stakeholders
- identify lessons learnt

Impact evaluation of pre-recorded cross examination
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-10)

An impact evaluation of pre-recorded cross examination for vulnerable and intimidated witnesses under the Section 28 of the YJCEA 1999.

Section 28 (s.28) of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act (YJCEA) 1999 allows eligible witnesses to pre-record their cross-examination or re-examination before the trial. It is intended that the s.28 recording can be presented during the trial without the witness needing to attend and experience fear or distress about testifying.

In 2019, piloting of s.28 for the s.17(4) intimidated cohort began which included survivors of rape and modern slavery. National roll-out concluded in 2022.

This impact evaluation was conducted to help understand the effect of s.28 on conviction rates, court operations, and the timeliness of cases.

When analysing convictions and court operations, we used a form of analysis that allows us to identify the effect of s.28 across the whole caseload, including the phases of the rollout to compare courts with, and without, expanded s.28 provision.

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 AinsCo Fire & Security 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 AinsCo Fire & Security 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 Spouses And Partners
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
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.

Industry leaders launch new hospitality sector hiring toolkit
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-02)

Safeguarding industry experts have collaborated to launch an industry best practice 'Better Hiring Toolkit' for the hospitality sector.

The Disclosure and Barring Service has collaborated with The Better Hiring Institute (BHI) (https://www.betterhiringinstitute.co.uk/), along with other safeguarding industry experts, to launch a free to use industry best practice ‘Better Hiring Toolkit’ for the hospitality sector.

The resource provides best practice advice and guidance on how to hire quickly, fairly, and safely, and to tackle modern slavery in the sector.

BHI has collaboratively created the toolkit, alongisde DBS and experts at the Gangmasters & Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) (https://www.gla.gov.uk/), the Institute of Hospitality (https://www.instituteofhospitality.org/), Disclosure Scotland (https://www.mygov.scot/organisations/disclosure-scotland), and Reed Screening (https://www.reed.com/screening).

The new toolkit – which can be accessed here (https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60608169343bd79aa75af204/67ed0bf7c3017c0a1ddc268b_Better%20Hiring%20Toolkit%20Hospitality.pdf) - provides practical, simplified guidance to support hospitality businesses with hiring new employees by utilising UK best practice.

It provides advice on vetting potential new recruits including checking and verifying their qualifications, as well as information for employers on their obligations when it comes to issues like modern slavery.

Helen Chandler, Acting Associate Director of Strategy and Business Development for the Disclosure and Barring Service, said: “The Disclosure and Barring Service helps employers make safer recruitment decisions, and our collaboration with Better Hiring Institute represents important steps forward in supporting the hospitality industry in safeguarding best practice.

“The toolkit provides guidance for employers and highlights how incorporating Basic checks into recruitment practices can be a tool to build trust, safety and reliability across the workforce.”

Keith Rosser, Chair of the Better Hiring Institute and Director of Reed Screening, said: “I am delighted to have worked collaboratively with key bodies to provide the hospitality industry with this best practice guide to help hard working organisations who are facing multiple challenges on a daily basis.

“The hospitality industry is vital to the UK economy and I hope that the toolkit will assist organisations to hire to the best possible standard. My thanks go to the Institute of Hospitality and our Hospitality subcommittee for their valuable insights and feedback to create this industry standard.”

Those responsible for recruitment within hospitality organisations are being urged to download, implement and share the toolkit within the hiring community: Access the Better Hiring Toolkit here (https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60608169343bd79aa75af204/67ed0bf7c3017c0a1ddc268b_Better%20Hiring%20Toolkit%20Hospitality.pdf).
Cessation of Defence personnel NHS commissioning statistics
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-12)

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) publishes an Official Statistic on the number of UK armed forces and civilian personnel with a Defence Medical Services registration. We are seeking external users’ views on the cessation of this report.

Background

This publication was developed to enable the MOD, the Department of Health (DH), NHS England (and devolved administrations), Public Health England, and local authorities to make informed decisions regarding the commissioning of clinical services by location, depending on the size and make-up of the populations requiring access to care. This was of particular importance during the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) which resulted in a reduction in the size of the Armed Forces, and the Army Basing Programme, which saw a number of troops relocated.

The Army Basing Programme ended in March 2021 and since then population changes have been small and due to routine troop movements. We believe that there is now sufficient published information to allow for future estimates to be made of personnel by location and are therefore proposing the cessation of this publication.

How to respond

If you have any comments on the proposed cessation of this report, please email them to xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) stating ‘Defence personnel NHS commissioning statistics consultation’ in the subject line.

When sending your comments please include contact details (your name and either email address, postal address or telephone number) so that we can follow up if clarification is needed.

UK Statement to Chairpersonship Forum "Building a Resilient Future in a Changing Climate"
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-11)

Ambassador Holland welcomes the opportunity for States to discuss the impacts of climate change on the resilience and security of the OSCE region.

Thank you Chair.

We meet today not under the official auspices of the OSCE but as a Chair’s event due to the choices of one participating State. We call again on all States to ensure that the full range of mandated meetings across the OSCE’s comprehensive concept of security, are allowed to take place.

Though we welcome being able to convene like this to discuss the importance of ensuring resilience across the OSCE region to a changing climate, we must acknowledge the fact that Russia continues its illegal invasion of Ukrainian sovereign territory and Russian troops continue to occupy Ukrainian land. We condemn in the strongest possible terms the latest wave of Russian attacks on Ukraine over the weekend, which included attacks on power generation, transmission and distribution systems, increasing the suffering of Ukraine’s civilian population by cutting off electricity and heating to homes, hospitals and schools. The United Kingdom is committed to a sustainable peace in Ukraine and will continue to stand resolutely with Ukraine and its people.

Chair,

Climate change is already hitting harder than expected – through extreme heat, floods, wildfires and droughts. These impacts are disrupting lives, livelihoods and economies, especially in the most fragile and conflict-affected places. Vulnerable communities who contributed least to this crisis are paying the most.

Risks to growth, security, and wellbeing will increase in all countries in all warming scenarios. Being ‘climate resilient’ means having the capacity to thrive in the face of climate risks. Investment decisions taken today will determine how well we cope tomorrow.

The UK Government is determined to put climate resilience at the heart of our decision-making. We are helping to build international climate resilience though our partnerships, diplomacy, thought leadership, technical expertise and ODA. Since 2011, the UK has supported over 110 million people to cope with the effects of climate change and is one of the largest funders of adaptation research globally. It remains our ambition to deliver £11.6bn of International Climate Finance between April 2021 and March 2026, including to triple our adaptation finance from £500m in 2019 to £1.5 billion in 2025. We want to ensure climate resilience action is inclusive, sustainable and delivers context specific solutions. We champion locally led approaches and the meaningful engagement and involvement of marginalised groups.

As the world’s largest regional security organisation, the OSCE has a unique role to play in strengthening our collective resilience to a changing climate and the UK stands ready to support those efforts.

Thank you.
