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 KCM Kitchens 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 KCM Kitchens 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
- 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.
Designated standards prioritisation
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-04)

The MHRA invite feedback on the use of designated standards for medical devices and in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices to help shape future initiatives.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is working to deliver a future regulatory framework for medical devices that prioritises patient and public safety, gives patients access to the medical devices they need, and ensures the UK remains an attractive market for medical technology innovators.

In line with this objective, we are committed to enhancing patient safety and harmonisation by more closely aligning with international standards and best practices. The MHRA is seeking your input through this survey on the prioritisation for designation of important medical device standards that support compliance with the Medical Device Regulations 2002 (MDR 2002) (No.618 as amended). (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2002/618/contents)

Your feedback is crucial in helping shape our approach to designating standards, ensuring that they are practical, effective, and beneficial for all stakeholders involved.

Your input

We would value your views and experiences on the device standards which are relevant to you or your organisation.

The findings from the survey will inform our ongoing prioritisation process for device standards designated.

Please complete the questionnaire by 11:59pm Tuesday 30 September 2025.

For any questions relating to completion of the survey, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx), with “Designated Standards Survey” in the subject line.

You may download the survey questions (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/68b844b6b0a373a01819fd9e/MHRA_Designated_Standards_Prioritisation_Survey_questions.pdf) for reference, before responding to the survey.

School admission appeals data collection: how to submit data
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-10)

How local authorities should collect and submit admission appeals data from all community and voluntary-controlled schools in their area.

The school admission appeals data collection (also known as APAD) is a statutory data collection that local authorities submit to us every January. You must complete statutory collections by law unless there’s a good reason not to.

Important dates

Deadlines for the 2026 collection:
- include admission appeals that were logged by Monday 1 September 2025
- data collection opens on Monday 12 January 2026
- submit data by Friday 23 January 2026
What data to collect and submit

The data collection gathers information about appeals that parents have asked for (lodged) before 1 September because their child was not admitted to their preferred school.

It only covers community and voluntary-controlled primary and secondary schools (including middle-deemed schools). For each phase, you must report:
- total number of lodged appeals
- total number of heard appeals
- appeal outcomes
If a community and voluntary-controlled school is in the process of converting to an academy, you should only include them if they are still under local authority control on spring school census day. This is Thursday 15 January 2026.

How to submit your data

You’ll need to:
- register and sign in with DfE Sign-in (https://edd-help.signin.education.gov.uk/contact)
- use COLLECT to submit your data
We’ll only be able to change the status of your data submission to ‘authorised’ once you’ve cleared all errors in the data in COLLECT.

Contact your school or local authority approver if:
- you want to request a DfE Sign-in username or password so you can access COLLECT
- ‘APAD 2026’ is not on the list of collections you can see in COLLECT

Pipette tips (Tariff notice 12)
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-19)

Check the tariff classification for pipette tips.

New regulation

A new regulation (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/oj/daily-view/L-series/default.html?&ojDate=xx-xxxx-xxxx) was published on 6 December 2024 and entered into force 20 days after this date.

Reg. 2024/3020

This is considered a change in Northern Ireland practice.

Classification (Combined Nomenclature (CN) code)

3926 90 97

Description of the goods

So-called Pipette tips, made of translucent polypropylene plastics, of a cylindrical body with a conical tip, of various diameters and lengths.

The pipette tips are interchangeable, disposable components which can be fitted in a pipetting apparatus and in automated dosing systems (dosing robots).

These products are designed to be used in various specific diagnostic and research applications to transfer small, precise amounts of liquids accurately and consistently.

Reason

Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 3926, xx-xxxx-xxxx and 3926 90 97.

Although the pipette tips are suitable for use solely or principally with the pipetting apparatus and automated dosing systems of heading 8479 and they are significantly involved in the absorption and precise dosing of the liquid, they cannot be considered as parts of these apparatuses, as they are interchangeable and disposable components.

Moreover, while a pipetting apparatus or automated dosing system cannot carry out its function without the pipette tips, it is nevertheless established that the mechanical and electrical functioning of those machines is not dependent on the pipette tips. Consequently, classification under heading 8479, as parts of the pipetting apparatus is excluded. (See also judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 19 July 2012 in Case C-336/11, Rohm & Haas Electronic Materials CMP Europe GmbH and Others, ECLI:EU:C:2012:500, paragraphs 35-39.)

Due to their objective characteristics, the products are to be classified according to their constituent material, under heading 3926, as articles of plastics.

The products are therefore to be classified under CN code 3926 90 97, as other articles of plastics.

For reference: Product Images are contained within the new regulation.

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.

Application for Government Social Research Profession Membership
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-11)

New Government Social Research Membership Forms and Guidance

The Government Social Research Profession opens a number of recruitment schemes every year, such as the Fast Stream and Main Stream, to recruit new social researchers into government.

Furthermore, some job openings contain a GSR assessment process (Knowledge Test and GSR interview), which means that successful candidates will be automatically badged into GSR.

However, civil servants working in analytical roles in a core government department, who were not recruited through a GSR-assessed job opening, can be badged into GSR if they meet all the requirements.

Badging rounds are organised periodically by departments. Civil servants who meet all the requirements set out in the Membership Guidance below can reach out to their department’s GSR Head of Profession for information about the badging rounds. They will be asked to complete the application form below and, if they meet all the requirements, will have to pass a Knowledge Test and an interview. You can see an example GSR Knowledge Test above.

Details about the skills tested at each grade can be found in the GSR Technical Framework (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65cb7328103de2000cb8f391/Government_Social_Research_Technical_Framework_v4.pdf). Contact xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) if you don’t know who your department’s GSR Head of Profession is.

Badged GSR Members who move to another analytical role in another department will not need to be badged again. In case of promotion, a badging process will be necessary at the new grade.

This manual will be archived on 15 December 2025. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know.

ADD/CVD is payable when the goods concerned are released to free circulation. They are charged in addition to any normal customs duties that may be payable.

The specified rates will be shown in the 'Additional Information' pages at the end of the relevant Chapter in Volume 2 of the Tariff. Amendments/additions are notified by CS&TD via email and on ADD measures on the GOV.UK site.

When the appropriate charges are expressed in € (Euros), then the industrial rate of exchange should be used. This can be found on the GOV.UK site.

Where ADD/CVD is charged as a percentage of the 'net free at Community-frontier price paid', the value for ADD/CVD purposes is based on costs, insurance & freight.

Information on Valuation methods can be found in GACV (Guidance on Audit of Customs Values) and Public Notice 252 Valuation of imported goods for customs purposes, VAT and trade statistics.
