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 AACE 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 AACE 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
We also pledge the following:

Providing informal resettlement advice to serving personnel seeking employment, who approach AACE and making introductions to other potential employers, in cases where we do not have suitable vacancies

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.

Design for Life roadmap
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-31)

The government’s plan to build a circular economy for medical technology to increase resilience, drive growth, realise cost savings and improve sustainability.

This roadmap sets out the government’s ambition to transition away from all avoidable single-use medical technology (medtech) products towards a functioning circular system by 2045 that maximises reuse, remanufacture and recycling.

Circularity in medtech means designing, procuring and processing medical products in a way that enables them to be reused, remanufactured or recycled, preserving their value for as long as possible. The benefits of a circular economy in the health sector are vast and increasingly well-understood, but are rarely put into practice and are difficult to scale. Unlocking these benefits across the UK medtech sector will bring many opportunities for innovation and growth, while improving patient care and value for money and supporting the transition to a net zero NHS.

Within the document, we set out a plan of 30 actions to deliver our 2045 vision, which will involve:
- driving positive behavioural change
- exploring new commercial incentives to provide circular medtech
- creating new standards to enable innovative products and services
- planning the decontamination and recycling infrastructure of the future
- establishing new collaborations to accelerate the emergence of transformative science
Inheritance Tax on pensions: liability, reporting and payment
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-21)

We welcome views on this technical consultation on the processes required to implement changes to Inheritance Tax rules for pension funds and death benefits.

As announced at Autumn Budget 2024, from 6 April 2027 most unused pension funds and death benefits will be included within the value of a person’s estate for Inheritance Tax purposes and pension scheme administrators will become liable for reporting and paying any Inheritance Tax due on pensions to HMRC.

This is a technical consultation on the processes required to implement these changes for UK-registered pension schemes. It is likely to be of interest to individuals, pension scheme administrators and other pensions professionals, tax and legal practitioners.

After the consultation, the government will publish a response document and carry out a technical consultation on draft legislation for these changes in 2025.

With each day that passes, the suffering increases. We urge the parties to secure an immediate ceasefire: UK statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-16)

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

The United Kingdom, together with Denmark, France, Greece and Slovenia, called for this meeting out of deep concern for the Israeli government’s inhumane approach to the crisis in Gaza.

This week marks 650 days since the horrific Hamas attacks of October 7th.

With each day that passes, the hostages suffer yet more agony, in appalling conditions and deprived from contact with their loved ones.

And with each day that passes, the people of Gaza suffer death, desperation and displacement.

This conflict has gone on for far too long.

There is a deal to be done.

We urge the parties to engage in the spirit of compromise to secure an immediate ceasefire, the release of the hostages and a pathway towards lasting peace.

I will make three points.

First, it is imperative that Israel lift its restrictions on aid entering Gaza.

Without fuel, water systems and hospitals in Gaza are on the verge of collapse.

Without medical supplies, treatable illnesses are costing lives.

And without food, Palestinians are dying from malnutrition or forced desperately to scramble for supplies.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has acknowledged that the UN has the unique capacity to meet the immense humanitarian need.

So we call on Israel to allow the UN to save lives immediately and without obstruction.

The United Kingdom welcomes the agreement between the EU and Israel, but we need to see words turned into action.

Second, we strongly oppose the expansion of Israel’s military operations.

We urge Israel immediately to implement and enforce robust measures to protect civilians.

In the past four months, more than 1,000 children have been killed.

Palestinians have also been fired upon by the IDF while desperately seeking food, with 800 people killed at aid sites.

This is abhorrent.

Third, the United Kingdom is appalled by the Israeli Defence Minister’s comments on forced displacement of Palestinians to Rafah.

This would contravene the fundamental principles upon which the UN was founded.

Palestinian territory must not be reduced, and civilians must be able to return home.

President, the path forward lies in diplomacy and compromise to deliver lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

We commend the leadership of France and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in co-chairing the upcoming conference on a Two-State Solution, which offers us a crucial opportunity to advance this goal.
