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 Equals Training and Associates 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 Equals Training and Associates 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:

- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts

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.

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.

General checks

The same basic checks detailed in for ATA carnets in ATACPD06100 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/ata-cpd-carnets/atacpd06100) to ATACPD06200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/ata-cpd-carnets/atacpd06200) must be carried out when you are presented with a China-Taiwan issued carnet at the office of importation.

As with ATA carnets ensure that the goods on the carnet are eligible for entry to the UK under a carnet. If the goods are ineligible you must refuse to certify the carnet and request a normal declaration to free circulation or any suitable relief available. You must also ensure that the information provided on the carnet is accurate and that no unauthorised amendments have been made. You must also ensure that no additions have been made to the list of goods being imported and that all the goods detailed are available for inspection.

Action on completion of the checks

You must complete Box H on the white importation voucher as follows:

Item

Action required

H(a)

No specific action required but by completing this section, you are confirming that all the goods on the General List have been declared for temporary importation.

H(b)

You have to state the date by which the goods must leave the UK. This will normally be the date of expiry of the carnet but you need to be aware that shorter dates can apply depending on the type of goods, see ATACPD07255 to ATACPD07700

H(c)

Insert the local office reference number.

H(d)

Insert any other relevant remarks and then insert details of your office, the date, signature, and office date stamp.

The white importation voucher can then be detached from the carnet and sent immediately to the National Carnet Unit (NCU). You must then complete:
- Box H(e) on the white re-exportation voucher with the name and address of the NCU
- the orange importation counterfoil in the same manner as detailed in 06100 paragraph 1 not forgetting the possible variation between the validity of the carnet and the period for re-exportation from the UK.
If the goods have been moved to the UK under a blue transit voucher, you must then sign off the second part of the orange transit counterfoil, see ATACPD21300 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/ata-cpd-carnets/atacpd21300). Once you have completed your checks and certified the carnet, you should return the carnet to the holder or representative.

UK and Australia discuss digital defence and emerging threats
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-18)

Australia's recent defence changes offer valuable insights for the UK's newly announced Strategic Defence Review.

Australia remains one of the UK’s closest partners and in an increasingly dangerous world, working with our international partners has never been more important. Lieutenant General Susan Coyle, Australia’s Chief of Joint Capabilities, and Major General Robert Watson from the Australian Defence Force’s Cyber Command visited Strategic Command where they were welcomed by Commander General Sir Jim Hockenhull and Deputy Commander Lieutenant General Sir Tom Copinger-Symes to share lessons from their 2023 defence review and discuss progress on the AUKUS partnership.

The visit focussed on four main areas where both nations are adapting defence to address modern threats. Australia now brings together cyber, space, intelligence and logistics teams under single commands, allowing different military specialities to work together more effectively. This approach mirrors what the UK wants to achieve through its Strategic Defence Review.

Lieutenant General Coyle and Major General Watson visited the new UK Cyber Command facility at Ministry of Defence Corsham, where our teams protect the country’s digital networks from online attacks. They were among the first senior international visitors to see the headquarters, with Air Vice-Marshal Ashbridge leading detailed discussions about cyber threats and defence methods during their time at Corsham. These talks showed how both the UK and Australia need specialist teams to tackle digital threats, working closer together on cyber defence and shared ways to protect military networks.

Conversations also included progress on AUKUS capabilities beyond submarine development. The three nations, the UK, US and Australia, are developing artificial intelligence, smart systems and cyber capabilities that will define future warfare. Australia’s experience implementing these new technologies provides valuable lessons for UK programmes.

Australia’s Joint Capabilities Group, led by Lieutenant General Susan Coyle, operates similarly to Strategic Command. Both are designed to integrate capabilities across the single services, showing how close allies learn from each other’s experiences to speed up defence transformation and maintain military advantage.

By combining Australia’s lessons with the UK’s Strategic Defence Review, both countries are building the modern defence capabilities needed to stay ahead of new threats and ensure we remain ahead of our adversaries in an increasingly dangerous world.

The Advertising (Less Healthy Food and Drink) (Brand Advertising Exemption) Regulations 2025: impact assessment - RPC opinion (green-rated)
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-22)

Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC) opinion of the Department for Health and Social Care’s (and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport) impact assessment (IA) in respect of proposals in the regulations laid before Parliament on 10 September 2025

The regulations introduce a watershed on TV, and a ban on paid-for online advertising, of food and drink that are high in fat, salt and sugar. The regulations aim to reduce children’s exposure to advertising of less healthy products, which evidence shows contributes to childhood obesity, and to incentivise businesses to re-formulate their products and help create a healthier food environment.

The Department’s original IA received an initial review notice (IRN), highlighting the areas that needed to be addressed for the IA to receive a green-rated RPC opinion. The Department subsequently submitted a revised IA for RPC scrutiny, which considered it fit for purpose, although the wider cost-benefit analysis still relied heavily on assumptions.

Following the IRN, the Department improved its small and micro business assessment, and revised its calculation of the equivalent annual net direct cost to business, resulting in a figure of £185.5 million (up from £6 million in the original IA).

The RPC is pleased that its advice has contributed to the improvement of the analysis supporting regulatory policy in this area. The corresponding IA can be found here (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/further-advertising-restrictions-for-products-high-in-fat-salt-and-sugar).

River Thames: boat registration and other charges
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-06)

Boat registration charges for the River Thames.

All boats kept, used or let for hire on the River Thames must be registered in line with the Environment Agency (Inland Waterways) Order 2010.

If you have a boat and you keep it afloat or use it on the River Thames, you need to register it.

This requirement extends to every part of the non-tidal River Thames between Cricklade Bridge and Teddington Lock, and the short section of the tidal River Thames between Teddington Lock and the Port of London Authority’s boundary, including backwaters and marinas.

It also applies to the River Kennet between the River Thames and the Canal and River Trust’s boundary downstream of the High Bridge in Reading and to every part of the Jubilee River flood alleviation scheme.

Only unpowered open boats can use the Jubilee River flood alleviation scheme; powered boats are not permitted. It is not possible to navigate into the channel directly from the Thames. There are portage points to gain access and to pass the weirs. Please be mindful that the levels in the Jubilee River respond to high flows in the Thames and can change without warning.

R&D activity contributes to the development of new technologies, products and processes and is a key driver of productivity growth. The Northern Ireland R&D surveys cover the business sector, higher education and other government financed activities. It provides important indicators of the extent to which Northern Ireland companies and higher education establishments are investing in the activities that underlie future economic development. All companies believed to be performing R&D are included in the survey - in effect therefore, a census of known R&D performers is carried out.

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 Diagnostic Healthcare 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 Diagnostic Healthcare 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:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- 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.
