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 Taunton Association for the Homeless 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 Taunton Association for the Homeless 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
- 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.

Free school meals: guidance for schools and local authorities
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-05)

Guidance for schools and local authorities about providing school meals including information on free school meal eligibility.

Where pupils eligible for benefits-related free school meals are receiving remote education, schools should work with their school catering team or food provider to provide good quality lunch parcels.

This will ensure that eligible pupils continue to be supported for the short period they are unable to attend school.

These documents are for:
- local authorities
- local-authority-maintained schools
- academies
- free schools
The guidance for local authorities and schools explains the eligibility and the protection arrangements under Universal Credit for those already receiving free school meals.

We have permanently extended free school meal eligibility to children in all households with no recourse to public funds (NRPF), subject to maximum income thresholds. The guidance explains who is now eligible. You can provide the application form to families and carers to verify their eligibility.

INCHP06250 - Special directions: incomplete claims
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-24)


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.

Note: This manual is under review following Brexit and is likely to be withdrawn. If there is anything within this manual you use regularly, please email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know. Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC.

Legal basis

Customs are able to accept repayment claims where information and / or documents required for process of the claim are not available. However, these incomplete claims must contain a minimum amount of information as set out below, whether on a C285 or in a trader's letter. The provisions require Customs to set a time limit for the information and / or documents to be provided. If this is not complied with, we may consider the trader is no longer pursuing the claim and no further action is required.

Minimum requirements

The minimum information required is:
- name and address of the trader concerned or his representative, although this is satisfied if the claim is on the traders / representatives letter headed paper or made by email providing the same information
- list of the entries (for CFSP traders this would be reference to the supplementary declarations) relating to the claim
- name of Customs office responsible for the entry unless already evident from above
- if appropriate, details of the next intended Customs procedure the trader wishes to apply to the goods and whether the trader wants authorisation to do this before a repayment decision has been made.
If it is a 'protective claim' (see INCHP06300 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/import-and-national-clearance-hub-procedures/inchp06300)), this minimum can be reduced to the first three bullet points.

Acceptance

The trader should be notified when the incomplete claim has been accepted. The trader should also be informed to provide the missing information / documentation to support the claim within a period not exceeding 3 months (except for protective claims - see INCHP06300 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/import-and-national-clearance-hub-procedures/inchp06300)). The trader should be warned that failure to do so will mean the claim being treated as withdrawn and no longer valid unless the trader can provide justification for extending the period. The National Duty Repayment Centre (NDRC) at Salford decides whether or not to grant any extension and its extent after considering the reasons provided by the trader. It should be something that prevents the provision of the information / documentation within the period rather than delay caused by the trader allocating resources to other priorities. Normally, only one extension is needed. The trader is informed when any claim is treated as 'withdrawn' as above.

Where the Repayment Centre have taken steps to prevent the destruction of Customs copies of the entries shown on the claim, the trader should be informed and warned that they are responsible in providing copies of any that cannot be obtained.

Source: gov.uk (2025-03-12)

The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland will travel to Washington D.C. this week to participate in the annual St. Patrick’s Day events.

The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Hilary Benn will travel to Washington D.C. this week to participate in the annual St. Patrick’s Day events, taking the opportunity to celebrate the strong ties between Northern Ireland and the United States.

During his visit, the Secretary of State will engage with the US Administration, Congressional Members, business leaders, and key stakeholders to advance bilateral relations and our shared mission to ensure the prosperity and security of our two great nations. Growing the economy and raising living standards in every part of the UK is a crucial part of the UK Government’s Plan for Change.

He will promote Northern Ireland as a fantastic place to invest, work and live, highlighting Northern Ireland’s unique access to both the UK’s internal market and the EU’s single market.

The trip will focus on the key objective of further deepening UK-US relations, particularly in the areas of economic growth and trade.

The Secretary of State will reiterate the UK Government’s commitment to enhancing its strategic relationship with the US, which continues to be a critical partner in the pursuit of shared global security, prosperity, and values.

Speaking ahead of his departure, Mr Benn, said:

“The United Kingdom’s relationship with the United States is one of the most enduring, historic and important partnerships in the world.

“I look forward to talking to US counterparts and discussing ways to further strengthen our already close ties in trade, security, and beyond - furthering the UK Government’s Plan for Change - and promoting Northern Ireland as a great place to invest and do business.”

The St. Patrick’s Day celebrations provide a unique platform for fostering connections and highlighting the significant contribution that the Irish-American community has made to both nations.

The Secretary of State’s participation will further deepen the UK’s strong, historic, and evolving relationship with the United States, reinforcing the shared commitment to peace, prosperity, and international cooperation.

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 Baltic Training Services 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 Baltic Training Services 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
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.
