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 Kilnbridge Fire Protection 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 Kilnbridge Fire Protection 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
- 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.

All data on external disclosures made to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

The CMA is a listed organisation included in the Prescribed Persons Order 2014, which provides the statutory framework for protecting persons from harm if they report on any wrongdoing involving their employer. The process by which a person may make this report is referred to as “making a disclosure” or “whistleblowing”.

To be covered by whistleblowing law, the disclosure must be a ‘qualifying disclosure’. This is any disclosure of information which, in the reasonable belief of the worker making the disclosure, is made in the public interest and tends to show that one or more of the following has occurred, is occurring or is likely to occur:
- a criminal offence (this may include, for example, types of financial impropriety such as fraud)
- a breach of a legal obligation
- a miscarriage of justice
- danger to the health or safety of any individual
- damage to the environment
- the deliberate covering up of wrongdoing in the above categories
If you are an employee or ex-employee and wish to provide the CMA with information and/or raise a concern about your employer’s possible involvement in anti-competitive or unfair trading practices, please contact us:

BIM70040 - Cash basis: expenses: interest payments and incidental costs of obtaining finance
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)


S51A ITTOIA 2005, S57B ITTOIA 2005, S31E ITTOIA 2005

In calculating the profits of a trade on the cash basis, there is a general rule that no deduction is allowed for interest paid on a loan.

There is express provision, however, to allow a deduction of up to £500 for interest and incidental costs of obtaining finance in total for any trade period. This would otherwise be disallowed either by the general rule or because it wasn’t expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the trade. All cash borrowing for business purposes is covered by this provision.

Example

Steve takes out a bank loan to buy a new computer to use both in the business and for private purposes. The business use proportion will be approximately 40%. Steve pays £600 in interest in the basis period for the tax year 2014-15. He can include a deduction of £500 for the interest paid in calculating his profits on the cash basis. It does not matter that the loan was not used wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the trade, no apportionment is required.

Interest on purchases

Payments of interest on purchases are not subject to the £500 limit, provided the purchase itself is an allowable expense, as this is not cash borrowing. For example, trade credit charged by suppliers of goods or services, interest charges for hire purchase or leasing of plant or machinery and credit card interest on allowable purchases are allowed in full. However, if the item purchased is used for both business and private purposes, only the proportion of interest related to the business usage is allowable.

Apply for funding for a regulated qualification
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-19)

How awarding organisations can apply for funding for their Ofqual-regulated qualifications using the qualifications funding and approvals service tool (QFAST).

Awarding organisations can use the qualifications funding and approvals service tool (QFAST) to:
- apply for funding for a new qualification
- make changes to technical or alternative academic qualifications
- apply for a moratorium exemption application
From September 2025, the tool will replace GalaxKey, CogniSoft and Excel forms.

Before you start

Check that your qualification meets the eligibility criteria set out in the funding approval manual (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/qualifications-funding-approval-manual-2025-to-2026).

For each new application, you will need information about:
- what level it is
- who it’s aimed at
- the start date
- any qualifications it’s replacing
- an estimate of potential uptake by providers
- the sector subject area (SSA) it comes under
Accessing the tool

There are several steps to go through to get access and set up the tool.

Finding your UKPRN

You will need a UKPRN for your organisation to access the service tool. You can register (or check if you already have one) through the UK register of learning providers (UKRLP) (https://www.ukrlp.co.uk/).

To complete your registration, you will need the:
- IDs of the legal entity being registered (typically a Companies House number)
- legal address and phone number of your organisation
- email address of your organisation’s superuser
Once you submit your request, you will get a confirmation email and the UKRLP team will validate your request. This can take up to 3 working days.

When you have your UKPRN, you will be able to create a DfE sign-in (https://edd-help.signin.education.gov.uk/contact/create-account) and link your UKPRN to the QFAST tool.

Adding QFAST to your DFE sign-in account

To add the QFAST service to your user account:
- Sign into the my services (https://services.signin.education.gov.uk/my-services) section of DfE sign-in and go into ‘Add services to my account’.
- If prompted, choose your UKPRN and organisation.
- Locate ‘Qualifications Funding Service’ and add it to your account.
- Your organisation superuser will need to approve your request.
DfE cannot approve these requests. They are controlled by your organisation and need to be approved by your superuser.

Submitting your information

Once your superuser has approved your request, you will be able to access QFAST and submit an application (https://qualification-funding.education.gov.uk/) for a new qualification.

Navigating QFAST: an introduction for awarding organisations (https://youtu.be/MP-LkhAihYI)

Risk minimisation measures for medicines
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-09)

Guidance for healthcare professionals on risk minimisation options for medicines.

Risk minimisation measures are put in place to facilitate the safe and effective use of medicines by healthcare professionals, patients and their carers or guardians.

It is a requirement for Marketing Authorisation Holders (MAHs) to implement routine risk minimisation measures, such as the legal status of a medicine (for example prescription-only), pack size of a medicine, and a Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) and Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) for every medicine. These measures are standard requirements to address safety concerns once a product is on the market. But for certain medicines, additional risk minimisation measures are required for their safe and effective use.

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 Eaton MEDC UK 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 Eaton MEDC UK 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:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve 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.

Ethical considerations in the use of geospatial data for research and statistics
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-29)

This guidance document explores ethical considerations in the use of geospatial data for research, analysis and statistics.

Description

This guidance document explores ethical considerations in the use of geospatial data for research, analysis and statistics. It has been developed by the UK Statistics Authority’s Centre for Applied Data Ethics (https://uksa.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/what-we-do/data-ethics/centre-for-applied-data-ethics/) in partnership with geospatial colleagues.

It is divided into 8 main parts, providing an initial introduction to geospatial data and ethics, before moving on to consider case examples and potential mitigations related to four key areas, as well as links to further resources.

An ethics checklist is also provided for researchers and analysts using geospatial data, which summarises the main points covered in this guidance.
