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 Wickland Westcott 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 Wickland Westcott 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
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

-Working with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP), in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for Service Leavers

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.

EM2150 - Working the enquiry: Consider your enquiry’s impact on tax credits and child benefit
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-13)


If you are making an enquiry into a taxpayer’s tax return, you must consider whether your findings will have any impact on the amount of any tax credits or child benefit they may be entitled to claim.

To help you identify relevant cases the standard intelligence package (SIP) should contain the following information
- The amount of income used by Benefits and Credits (B&C) to calculate the tax credit award.
- The level of the tax credit award that has been set.
- The amount of income reported to B&C by the claimant.
- Whether the award included child benefit, child tax credit, working tax credit or both.
If you require any additional benefits and credits information for the purpose of your check this should be requested using the ‘Tax credit and Child Benefit Compliance – Compliance Data request’ in SEES xmls forms. Please remember that there are resource costs, and sometimes a physical cost, for the provision of additional information. Therefore, please consider carefully any request for additional infor

The amount of tax credits an individual can claim may be affected by any changes to the income reported on their return. This includes any changes to
- the level of business profits or losses, including business-related rental income or income from property
- a director’s income, including remuneration, shares and dividends
- an employee’s earnings, including tips, gratuities, bonus, commission and benefits in kind
- other income, including interest on savings, investments on dividends, income from property, trust income, foreign income, occupational, state or personal pensions
- a taxpayer’s employment status.
When the outcome of your enquiry has an impact on tax credits or benefits

When you identify that income has been under-declared, you should explain to the taxpayer that this may affect the level of any tax credits that they have been awarded.

You do not need to work your enquiry jointly with B&C or to obtain their consent before you close an enquiry.

But when you have completed your enquiry you must
- calculate the amount by which the level of income shown on the return has changed, and
- make a report to B&C using the 'SA Profit Uplift' form in SEES xmls forms (This content has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)
Note: The way you access xmls forms is different to other SEES forms. To access the form select the 'xmls forms' option rather than the 'Forms and Letters' option from the drop down menu. Then select the 'National' tab from the options in the top left hand corner. The next step is to open the 'Tax Credit and Child Benefit Compliance' sub-folder by selecting the small + sign next to the folder. You can find the 'SA Profit Uplift' form within the folder.

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.

NESO’s North Hyde report: government response
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-18)

The government’s action plan to address the findings of NESO’s review into the incident at North Hyde Substation and commitment to ensuring GB energy resilience now and in the future.

On Thursday 20 March 2025, a large fire broke out at North Hyde Electricity Substation in Hayes, London and disrupted power supply to over 70,000 customers and businesses. Though power was restored within hours, secondary impacts to the aviation sector due to the associated closure of Heathrow Airport continued to be felt for days.

The Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero commissioned the National Energy System Operator (NESO) to undertake a comprehensive review of the incident. The review was to identify lessons and recommendations for the prevention, and management of future power disruption events, and lessons for Great Britain’s energy resilience more broadly. NESO published their review report on 2 July 2025.

The government response sets a clear implementation plan to make progress against NESO’s recommendations, and sets out the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero’s commitment to improve GB energy resilience through an Energy Resilience Strategy.

The implementation plan sets out actions to deliver improvements across:
- resilience of energy infrastructure
- response and restoration of energy infrastructure
- enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructure to energy disruption
The plan has been developed in collaboration with the Energy Resilience Group (ERG). ERG is a partnership between government, the regulator, and industry, which ensures a joined-up approach to energy resilience, emergency response and recovery across GB.
