IDG54010 - Information disclosure Gateways with other government departments: Police: general
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-04)


Why share information with the police

HMRC share information with the Police on a daily basis to combat criminality and to protect public safety. HMRC and police interests converge in a number of areas, notably, financial crime, immigration crime, and with other law enforcement issues. Sharing information in these areas is beneficial to both organisations. In addition, HMRC can assist the police in assembling evidence and information in relation to all other crimes.

Ensuring information is shared lawfully

All disclosures of HMRC information must be lawful. Please see IDG40300 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/information-disclosure-guide/idg40300) for more information on lawful disclosure as provided by the CRCA. While HMRC works closely with the Police we must make sure when we share information we do so in a lawful way.

To be lawful, HMRC may only share information with the police where permitted by s.18 of the CRCA, either by way of the disclosure falling within scope of the exceptions under s.18(2) or a legislative gateway that permits disclosure under s.18(3). See IDG40000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/information-disclosure-guide/idg40000) including IDG40320 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/information-disclosure-guide/idg40320) for general information about disclosing information outside of HMRC including what a legal gateway is. The appropriate legal gateway to use is listed under each type of disclosure to the Police at IDG54020 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/information-disclosure-guide/idg54020) to IDG54080 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/information-disclosure-guide/idg54080).

In some limited circumstances, it may be necessary to make a disclosure to the police for health and safety purposes. See IDG40460 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/information-disclosure-guide/idg40460) for guidance on this area.

You must also ensure when passing information to the police that you follow the agreed procedure for disclosures.
Civil Nuclear Constabulary raise £9,500 for charity
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-03)

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the CNC, employees have participated in a series of fundraising activities to support Cancer Research UK (CRUK).

Staff and officers from the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) voted on the beneficiary charity through a force-wide survey, and so over the last seven months, to mark two decades of service and show support for CRUK, employees have cycled, golfed, baked, and jogged or ran over 4400 miles, almost twice the distance between every CNC site in the UK.

The programme of fundraising activities also saw employees taking part in a beach clean in partnership with the Marine Conservation Society, participating in the Edinburgh Wild Hybrid Challenge, and scaling Mount Snowdon whilst carrying 127kg on a stretcher.

Speaking about the fundraising campaign, Deputy Chief Constable Stephen Martin said: “I am proud of how our organisation has come together in support of CRUK. Staff and officers have organised a range of activities across our sites, and thanks to our collective efforts, we have managed to raise £9,500 for this worthwhile cause.

“This has been a really positive way to demonstrate our commitment to helping others, whilst celebrating and reflecting upon the last 20 years of the CNC. A sincere thank you to everyone who took part or provided sponsorship.”

Josie Coakley, Relationship Manager for CRUK, said: “On behalf of Cancer Research UK, I’d like to thank everyone at Civil Nuclear Constabulary for their fundraising throughout 2025. From cycling challenges to bake sales, teams from across England and Scotland have got involved and raised over £9,500 for life-saving cancer research. This amount of money could fund our team of nine cancer nurses and their amazing work with people affected by cancer for one week.

“Cancer Research UK has been at the heart of the progress that has already seen cancer survival in the UK double in the last 50 years, but we’re not stopping now. Incredible supporters like Civil Nuclear Constabulary are helping us to go further and faster in the fight against the disease.”

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.

Drivers’ hours and maintenance failures at longstanding operation
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-01)

CW Moxon Ltd, an established operator, has had a temporary curtailment of its operator’s licence following a public inquiry held by the Deputy Traffic Commissioner for the North East of England, Gerallt Evans.

At the inquiry, Deputy Commissioner Evans, found that CW Moxon Ltd had not fully met its undertakings regarding vehicle maintenance, driver hours, and overall licence management.

The inquiry was prompted by a series of DVSA investigations in 2024 and 2025, which identified issues including:
- Failures to record driver rest periods
- Inadequate driver training records and licence checks
- Concerns over maintenance standards and brake testing
- A lack of continuing professional development by the then-Transport Manager, Linda Marlow
Despite these findings, the Deputy Traffic Commissioner acknowledged the company’s efforts to improve compliance, including:
- Ceasing the use of self-employed drivers
- Engaging Fosters Transport Compliance for external support
- Implementing roller brake testing at every inspection
- Introducing an AdBlue monitoring system
- Appointing two new qualified Transport Managers
Linda Marlow has now stepped down from her role as Transport Manager. Her successors, Michelle Marlow and Lisa Dunhill, were approved for immediate appointment. Both demonstrated a strong understanding of their responsibilities and a commitment to ensuring future compliance.

The company has also undertaken to commission an audit of its transport safety and compliance systems by March 2026, with findings to be submitted to the Office of the Traffic Commissioner by 30 April 2026.

In his findings. Mr. Evans said, “This appears to be a case where a long-standing transport manager has failed to keep pace with the development of compliance, and this has resulted in her not being able to exercise fully effective control over the licence.”

The company’s standard international public service vehicle operator’s licence has been temporarily limited to 15 vehicles for a period of seven days, from 17 to 24 September 2025.

CW Moxon Ltd, which has operated under its current licence since 1995, has pledged to continue improving its systems and working closely with its new transport managers and external advisors to ensure full compliance moving forward.

Service personnel to benefit from nearly 1,800 new bedspaces
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-21)

Service personnel will benefit from new Single Living Accommodation (SLA) under DIO's new Programmatic Approach.

Nearly 1,800 new bedspaces for military personnel are to be constructed in the first phase of the MOD’s new approach to building Single Living Accommodation (SLA).

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) has allocated the first sites to construction partners to build new SLA under their Programmatic Approach. This new way of building SLA, which was announced last year, will see the members of a new construction alliance using a common design for the MOD’s new buildings.

The common design meets the needs of service personnel in the 21st century, while also being sustainable in line with the government’s Net Zero Carbon strategy.

The projects which have been allocated to alliance members so far are:

Bowmer & Kirkland:
- Infantry Training Centre, Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire (144 bedspaces)
- Combermere Barracks, Berkshire (74 bedspaces)
- RM Condor, Angus (348 bedspaces)
- RNAS Yeovilton, Somerset (123 bedspaces)
Reds10:
- Baker Barracks, Hampshire (315 bedspaces)
- RAF Cosford, Shropshire (50 bedspaces)
Kier Metek:
- RM Bickleigh, Devon (166 bedspaces)
Laing O’Rourke:
- RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire (228 bedspaces)
- Albermarle Barracks, Northumberland (266 bedspaces)
- RAF Honington, Suffolk (80 bedspaces)
The companies, which also include Kier McAvoy, form the SLA Alliance, which will run initially for six years. The Programmatic Approach will see 16,000 new bedspaces built by 2034 as part of a wider MOD plan to build or refurbish 40,000 SLA bedspaces over ten years, improving the lives of service personnel.

These initial sites have been identified as the first priorities to replace aging and poor-quality existing SLA, but during the course of the ten-year programme, many other sites will benefit from new or refurbished accommodation. The contractors will work collaboratively, sharing best practice for the benefit of the companies, the MOD and service personnel.

While the SLA design catalogue allows for different construction methods depending on what is most suitable for each site, the SLA programmatic approach focuses on modern methods of construction (MMC), This should improve the speed of manufacture and reduce the time spent on site, minimising disruption, improving health and safety and providing steady employment in both factory and construction site areas.

Warren Webster, DIO Programme Director, SLA Programmatic Approach, said:

The Programmatic Approach is already proving successful, with a number of projects underway and others allocated. Our new Alliance is demonstrating excellent collaborative behaviours and focuses on continued improvement. Beyond that, we have plans for many more new SLA blocks at sites across the country, benefiting thousands of our service personnel for years to come.

G7 Foreign Ministers' statement

6 April 2025

We, the G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America and the High Representative of the European Union, express deep concern about China’s provocative actions, particularly the recent large-scale military drills around Taiwan.

These increasingly frequent and destabilizing activities are raising cross-Strait tensions and put at risk global security and prosperity.

G7 members and the larger international community have an interest in the preservation of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. We oppose any unilateral actions to threaten such peace and stability, including by force or coercion.

G7 members continue to encourage the peaceful resolution of issues through constructive cross-Strait dialogue.

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 Gatwick Construction 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 Gatwick Construction 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
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.
The Big Ambition Analysis for the National Youth Strategy
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-10)

The Children’s Commissioner’s Office was commissioned by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to conduct a new ‘deep dive’ of data from The Big Ambition.

The Children’s Commissioner for England is responsible for promoting and protecting the rights of children, particularly the most vulnerable. This includes making sure that children’s views are heard and considered when it comes to the policies and services that affect them.

In 2024, the Big Ambition survey found that only 22% of children agreed that people who run the country listen to what they have to say. For this reason, the Commissioner advocates for children’s voices to be central to the work of government; that every strategy, consultation and Act that impacts children’s lives should include their voices in the process.

The project

The Children’s Commissioner’s Office was commissioned by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to conduct a new ‘deep dive’ of data from The Big Ambition. This large-scale consultation of children in England was carried out between September 2023 and January 2024 and focused on their experiences, priorities and hopes for young people and the future of the country. This paper presents findings from analysis of qualitative responses, which are largely solution-focused, and sets out what children want the government to do to make their lives better. Findings in this report have been structured by the areas of interest from the DCMS National Youth Strategy:
- Physical, Mental, and Digital Wellbeing
- Community Connection, Cohesion, and Belonging
- Skills and Opportunities for Life and Work
- Safety and Security
- Youth Voice
Findings

This paper shows how much children want to: be listened to, be treated fairly, feel supported, have more opportunities for fun, build positive relationships with peers, feel prepared for the future, and feel safe.

Examples of some key asks from young people include more opportunities to inform the development of policies that will affect them, equal access to support and activities, better physical and mental health services, more parks, playgrounds and sports, more spaces to socialise with friends, better financial and practical education and careers advice, and increased community and online safety.

The contents of this paper present what England’s children said in response to the Big Ambition Survey which was conducted by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner in 2023-24 without necessarily reflecting the office’s policy positions.

It is essential that we listen to young people’s views and share what they say even when they may be contradictory or do not align with our wider evidence base.
