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 Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust 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 Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust 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
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.

Identification of victims of modern slavery
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-08)

Seeking your evidence and views on the UK's system for identifying victims of modern slavery.

This call for evidence has now closed.

The Home Office would like to thank all respondents who participated and provided their views in this call for evidence.

The Home Office is now analysing data from the call for evidence.

This call for evidence is an important step towards longer-term reforms of the modern slavery identification system (National Referral Mechanism). We are interested in hearing from a wide range of different groups about ways that the UK can have a more effective identification system for victims of modern slavery, where victims are recognised early and accurately so they can be protected and provided with appropriate assistance and support towards their recovery from exploitation.

The call for evidence is structured around 3 themes where the government has identified a particular need for further evidence and insights:
- definitions of victims of modern slavery
- initial identification of victims of modern slavery
- formal identification of victims of modern slavery

Judicial Summary

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) included the appellant on the adults’ and children’s barred lists because of her conduct towards other staff and service users that DBS considered gave rise to a risk of harm to vulnerable adults (and would give rise to a risk of harm to children if repeated against them). The Upper Tribunal finds that there was no mistake of fact or law in DBS’s decision and dismisses the appeal.

Every Russian strike is a commitment not to peace, but an attempt to destroy life and liberty in Ukraine: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-01)

Statement by Ambassador Barbara Woodward, UK Permanent Representative to the UN, at the UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine.

As we meet here, only a day after our last discussion on Russia’s continued aggression in Ukraine, I do so acutely aware that this is a day of mourning in Kyiv. And I extend my sympathy and condolences to all who mourn in Ukraine today.

Russia continues to inflict devastation across Ukraine.

The Russian strikes we witness demonstrate the stark reality. While Ukraine continues to set out its willingness to move towards peace, Putin’s response is to kill more innocent civilians.

Over the last four nights, Russia has fired 487 drones and 10 missiles at Ukrainian cities, killing 64 civilians and injuring over 279 more.

On Wednesday night alone, 31 people were killed in Kyiv, the deadliest attack on the city this year.

Local authorities have reported that 12 children were among the injured, making it the highest number of children injured on an attack in the capital since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Every meeting we have on Ukraine, we hear more heartbreaking stories about civilian deaths, including the tragic killing of a six-year-old boy on Wednesday night and the hospitalisation of at least nine other children.

Russia is unmoved by this. We are not.

These are not just numbers. Each represents an individual life lost, a future snuffed out, and for the wounded, a future irrevocably blighted by Russia, as I saw for myself when I visited rehabilitation centres in Kyiv.

The human toll of President Putin’s continued illegal, unjustifiable war against Ukraine is immense.

Russia’s attacks on civilians, on children, and on civilian infrastructure tells us everything we need to know about President Putin’s intentions. Every Russian strike is a commitment not to peace, but an attempt to destroy life and liberty in Ukraine.

And this is despite Russia’s obligations in international law, in the UN Charter and Russia’s status as a permanent member of this Council.

Their strikes, however, continue to escalate.

So we echo President Trump’s calls for President Putin to engage meaningfully at the negotiating table.

This Council was all but unanimous yesterday in calling for an immediate, full and unconditional ceasefire. That remains our call today.

Preference utilisation of UK trade in goods, 2021
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-28)

2021 statistics on the UK’s utilisation of tariff preferences for imports and exports under PTAs, including trade in goods between Great Britain and the EU under the TCA.

Statistics on the UK’s utilisation of tariff preferences for imports and exports under preferential trade agreements (PTAs).

This includes trade in goods between Great Britain and the EU under the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), covering the period after the UK left the EU.

Preference Utilisation Rates (PURs) measure the extent to which tariff preferences provided by trade agreements are being used, in goods where preferential tariff rates are available and lower than the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) rate.

A PUR is normally presented as a percentage, and reflects the value of goods traded under tariff preferences, as a share of the total value of goods eligible for preferences. Meaning to what extent a preferential tariff is being used.

Following initial publication on 13 February 2025, some errors with figures presented in the ‘Preference utilisation of UK goods in 2021’ HTML section of this publication were identified. This does not impact the database and aggregate supporting tables.

The following updates have been made:
- the preference utilisation headline figures for UK goods entering the UK tariff free, and by which terms, have been corrected. The previous figures did not account for excluding goods imports where the regime used was not known
- the preference utilisation headline figure for UK goods exported to South Korea has been rewritten to reflect this is among non-EU partners
- the preference utilisation headline figure for UK goods exported to Turkey has been rewritten to reflect this is among non-EU partners
- the overall tariff free figure (94.0%) for UK goods entering from non-EU trade agreement partners (underneath Table 1) has been corrected. The previous figure did not incorporate tariff free goods entering under GSP zero (0.3%)
- all tariff free figures for UK goods exported to EU27 partners in 2021 (underneath Table 4) have been corrected. The previous figures were inadvertently copied from another section of the publication. The correct line is: 86.9% of GB goods were exported to EU27 partners tariff free – either through FTA terms (38.9%) or MFN terms (48.1%)
- Figure 2 and the associated headline comment have been revised. The previous figures were inadvertently assigned to the incorrect HS sections

The British Sign Language (BSL) Act 2022 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2022/34/contents/enacted) (“The BSL Act”) was enacted in April 2022. The BSL Act legally recognises BSL as a language of England, Scotland and Wales (but not Northern Ireland, where equality law is devolved).

A non-statutory board of mainly BSL users was established in March 2023. Its role is to advise the government on matters of importance to Deaf people and on implementing the BSL Act.

The BSL Advisory Board aims to make sure the views and voices of Deaf people across the UK are at the heart of the work of the UK government. The tenure of the current Board finishes in December 2025 and we are now recruiting for board members and an independent co-chair.

Members will use their expertise and experience to help ensure the voices of Deaf people can help to shape policy and strategy across government.

Analyses how power is configured at the national and city levels.

Abstract

The study uses the African Cities Research Consortium’s holistic framework to analyse how power is configured at the national and city levels and how the 3 components of politics, systems and development domains interact to influence urban development in Freetown. This approach seeks to provide new insights to politicians, city officials and other key decision-makers about the systemic challenges they face, how this is linked with the city’s everyday politics, and the implications for development.

This paper is part of the African Cities Research Consortium (ACRC) programme.

New Ministry of Defence Permanent Secretary announced
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-31)

Jeremy Pocklington appointed as new Ministry of Defence Permanent Secretary

The Cabinet Secretary, with the approval of the Prime Minister, has appointed Jeremy Pocklington as the new Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Defence.

Jeremy is currently Permanent Secretary at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Jeremy will replace David Williams who is leaving the Civil Service. More details on the process to replace the Permanent Secretary for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero will be announced shortly.

Jeremy will join the Ministry of Defence at a pivotal time as the government delivers on the new Strategic Defence Review to modernise the UK’s armed forces and keep Britain safe and secure at home and strong abroad.

Defence Secretary, the Rt Hon John Healey MP, said:

“I am very pleased to welcome Jeremy to the department. In this new era for defence, his leadership will help drive the delivery of our Strategic Defence Review, make defence an engine for growth and ensure Britain is secure at home and strong abroad.

“I am deeply grateful to David for his dedication in leading defence over the last four and half years, and for the support he has given to me and my Ministerial team over the past year. I have huge respect for his commitment to public service, which I know is widely shared. He has helped to deliver on the government’s priorities, and he has put people at the heart of defence. David has so much to be proud of throughout his career and in this role as permanent secretary. I wish him all the very best for the future.”

Cabinet Secretary, Sir Chris Wormald, said:

“I would like to congratulate Jeremy Pocklington on his appointment as Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Defence. His leadership and delivery experience, gained as Permanent Secretary at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, make him excellently suited to lead the Ministry of Defence at this critical time.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank David Williams for his excellent leadership of the Department over the last four years and his exceptional public service over the last 35 years.”

Incoming Permanent Secretary Jeremy Pocklington said:

“It is a huge privilege to be appointed as Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Defence. I look forward to working with the Defence Secretary, the ministerial team, and our outstanding military and civilian teams across defence to drive forward Defence Reform. This is a pivotal time for defence as we transform to deliver the Strategic Defence Review and ensure we protect the UK and our interests.”

“I would like to thank everyone at the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero for their brilliant work over the last three years. I am proud of how much we collectively achieved.”

The appointment follows an external recruitment exercise chaired by the independent First Civil Service Commissioner.

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 Menzies Training Consultancy 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;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Menzies Training Consultancy Ltd 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
- Discounts
- 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.
