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 BH Live 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 BH Live 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.

National Citizen Service Trust - Minutes of the June 2025 Board Meeting and Joint Statement
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-07)

On 12 November 2024, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Lisa Nandy MP announced in the House of Commons the intention to wind down the National Citizen Service (NCS) programme from March 2025, and close the NCS Trust.

On 12 November 2024, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Lisa Nandy MP announced in the House of Commons the intention to wind down the National Citizen Service (NCS) programme from March 2025, and close the NCS Trust when parliamentary time allows.

On behalf of the government, the NCS Trust delivered a youth programme that offered a range of experiences across England, focused on those on the cusp of adulthood. It aimed to ensure that young people had both the maturity and open mindedness to reflect on their lives and the world around them whilst being open to change, new ideas and people. Offering an important intervention at this critical time in their lives, NCS helped young people to grow their strengths and realise their potential to become exactly who they want to be — through boosting their confidence, getting involved in social action, making new friends from different backgrounds, and learning new skills to become world and work ready and young national citizens.

The Trust is incorporated by Royal Charter pursuant to the National Citizen Service Act (2017) and is governed by a diverse board of trustees. The NCS programme was almost entirely funded by the government, through the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), and the responsibility for commissioning and overseeing the delivery of the NCS programme belonged to the Trust. The Trust was the only dedicated public body for youth and works closely with the government to shape their ambitions for young people.

National Citizen Service programme delivery concluded in March 2025.

The NCS Trust remained active with a reduced staff to complete closure activities until June 2025 and will be closed in due course.

Review into bias in algorithmic decision-making
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-30)

This review considers the impact that an increasing use of algorithmic tools is having on bias in decision-making, the steps that are required to manage risks, and the opportunities that better use of data offers to enhance fairness.

Description

Unfair biases, whether conscious or unconscious, can be a problem in many decision-making processes. This review considers the impact that an increasing use of algorithmic tools is having on bias in decision-making, the steps that are required to manage risks, and the opportunities that better use of data offers to enhance fairness. We have focused on the use of algorithms in significant decisions about individuals, looking across four sectors (recruitment, financial services, policing and local government), and making cross-cutting recommendations that aim to help build the right systems so that algorithms improve, rather than worsen, decision-making.

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 Jebel Tarik 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 Jebel Tarik 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 Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed 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.

Information on applying for new or continued registration, increasing advice levels, fees, and the application process for ex-offenders.

Overview

How to apply

To apply for initial registration, or continued registration with the IAA, you will need to use our online forms system, which includes all application forms. Start by accessing the system through our online portal.

Begin your application (https://portal.immigrationadviceauthority.gov.uk/s/upload-an-application#Neworexistingapplication?)

If you’re new to the portal, you will need to create an account first. Simply select ‘Applications’ on the top menu of the portal. For additional support with completing your application form, check the guidance tab (https://portal.immigrationadviceauthority.gov.uk/s/guidance) in the portal, where you’ll find helpful information and resources.

Registered organisations applying to increase their advice level

Immigration advice organisations who wish to increase the level that their organisation work at must complete an application form through the online portal.

Begin your application (https://portal.immigrationadviceauthority.gov.uk/s/upload-an-application#Neworexistingapplication?)

The portal has a guidance tab (https://portal.immigrationadviceauthority.gov.uk/s/guidance) at the top of the menu which provides instructions on submitting your application, details on required information, and answers to frequently asked questions (https://portal.immigrationadviceauthority.gov.uk/s/FAQs).

Registration and continued registration fees

All organisations must pay a fee for an application for registration unless the applicant is a person who is:
- providing immigration advice or immigration services in the course of a business that is not for profit
- does not charge a fee, directly or indirectly, for the provision of that advice or those services and pay a continued registration fee when regulated by the Commissioner
The fee is dependent on the level of advice intended to be given and, for a level 2 or 3 application, the number of prospective advisers.

How Defence Works: the defence operating model (superseded by Defence Reform)
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-31)

This document is no longer current. It provides a description of the organisational structure of Defence and how its organisations worked together before the departmental reforms that came into effect on 31 March 2025.

This document describes the way Defence worked prior to the departmental reforms that came into effect on 31 March 2025, and is no longer an accurate description of how Defence works. In due course an updated document will published that builds on the information below and outlines how each part of the department works following these reforms.

Under the Secretary of State and Ministers, UK Defence will now be led by a strengthened Department of State, a fully-fledged Military Strategic Headquarters, a new National Armaments Director Group, and the Defence Nuclear Enterprise. Our new leadership “Quad” - the Permanent Secretary, Chief of the Defence Staff, National Armaments Director, and Chief of Defence Nuclear - will ensure that their teams work together across these structures to deliver our key defence departmental outcomes in collaboration. Defence Reform is designed to introduce new integrated ways of working together and making individuals more accountable – the driving principles of the government’s Defence Reform agenda.

How Defence Works explains how defence is structured and governed, how key decisions are taken, and how 7 core activities (policy, strategy, planning, governance, generate, enable, and operate) are carried out by 18 organisations and 16 key business functions, working together to deliver 3 defence outputs (defence policy, military capability, and military operations).
