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 Bloomfield Shopping Centre and Retail Park 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 Bloomfield Shopping Centre and Retail Park 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
- 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.

West Nile fever: how to spot and report the disease
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-15)

How to spot West Nile fever, what to do if you suspect it and measures to prevent its spread.

West Nile fever affects a variety of animals including but not limited to:
- horses
- birds
- humans
West Nile fever is a notifiable animal disease (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/notifiable-diseases-in-animals). If you suspect it you must report it immediately by calling the Defra Rural Services Helpline on xx-xxxx-xxxx. In Wales, contact xx-xxxx-xxxx. In Scotland, contact your local Field Services Office (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/animal-and-plant-health-agency/about/access-and-opening#scotland-field-service-offices). Failure to do so is an offence.

How to spot West Nile fever

In horses clinical signs can include:
- lack of energy
- loss of coordination
- weakness in limbs leading to stumbling
Some horses will not show any signs at all.

Birds are the main carrier of West Nile fever, but not all species show signs of the disease.

Download and print our poster on how to spot the signs of West Nile fever (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/west-nile-fever-poster).

Risk to humans from West Nile virus

Humans can be affected by West Nile virus, although often the infection does not lead to any symptoms. If present, the most common symptoms are a flu-like illness.

Most mild infections resolve in a few days. A more severe disease develops in less than 1% of cases.

See Public Health England information about West Nile virus in the UK (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/west-nile-virus).

You can read more about West Nile virus in humans at NHS Choices (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/west-nile-virus/).

How West Nile fever is spread

The disease is spread by mosquitoes. It is not spread directly between animals.

Birds are the most common carriers and may spread West Nile fever between countries when they migrate.

Preventing and controlling West Nile fever

You can help prevent the disease by practising strict biosecurity (https://www.gov.uk/disease-prevention-for-livestock-farmers) on your premises.

If you report suspicion of West Nile fever, APHA vets will investigate.

If the disease is confirmed it will be controlled in line with the contingency plan for exotic notifiable diseases (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/contingency-plan-for-exotic-notifiable-diseases-of-animals-in-england).

Impacts of the 2021 off-payroll working rules reform in the private and voluntary sectors (updated)
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-27)

HMRC's estimates of the impact of the 2021 off-payroll working rules reform on the private and voluntary sectors (updated in February 2025).

This report sets out HMRC’s estimates of the impact of the 2021 off-payroll working rules reform, sometimes known as IR35, on the private and voluntary sectors.

This report was first published in December 2022, and you can view this on The National Archives website (https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20241101205742/https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/impacts-of-the-2021-off-payroll-working-rules-reform-in-the-private-and-voluntary-sectors)

This provides an update to our published analysis to account for the latest data available and includes an updated methodology of our approach.

The off-payroll working rules were introduced in 2000 to ensure individuals who work like employees, but through their own limited company (often known as a personal service company) or other intermediary, pay broadly the same Income Tax and National Insurance contributions as individuals who are directly employed. To improve compliance the rules were reformed in 2017 for the public sector and in 2021 for medium and large sized private and voluntary sector organisations.

The report includes estimates on:
- changes to the way workers provided their services
- additional tax revenue generated
- costs incurred in relation to the reform
- education and support provided by HMRC
The report sets out information on the methodology and the data sources HMRC has used for deriving these estimates.

HMRC has also published research into the short-term effects of the 2021 reform of the off-payroll working rules (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/short-term-effects-of-the-2021-off-payroll-working-rules-reform-for-private-and-voluntary-sector-organisations).

OPSS launches new small hazards, big harm campaign
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-12)

Parents urged to be aware of everyday items that pose serious risks when swallowed by young children.

The Office for Product Safety and Standards has launched a new campaign hashtag and updated resources to raise awareness among parents and carers about the hazards to children associated with items such as button batteries, magnets, imitation food, small toys, and other small objects, such as drawing pins.

The Small Hazards, Big Harm resources (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/child-safety-small-hazards-big-harm) have been updated to sit alongside the button battery top tips poster launched in May, which was developed through collaboration with accident prevention charities, clinicians, manufacturers, online marketplaces, and trade associations.

The campaign will include a new video featuring Samantha McCarthy, whose two-year-old daughter had to have lifesaving surgery after swallowing 14 tiny magnetic balls in 2021.

The assets also include warnings about magnetic mouth jewellery, where there have been instances of this being ingested by teenagers.

Button batteries can cause chemical burns if swallowed, whilst magnets can attract each other inside the intestines or bowel, squeeze the tissue, and cut off blood supply. OPSS is keen for groups, businesses, and individuals to support and share the updated materials on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram by using the hashtag #smallhazardsbigharm

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 Roma Black 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 Roma Black 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:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- UK Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Armed Forces Charities
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
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.

RAF Digby personnel to benefit from £65 million new accommodation
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-13)

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation has awarded a contract to construct 276 single occupancy bedrooms at RAF Digby.

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) has awarded a £65 million contract for new Single Living Accommodation (SLA) at RAF Digby in Lincolnshire.

RAF Digby is the RAF’s oldest station, established in 1918, but is now operated by Strategic Command. The contract was awarded to Galliford Try with Arcadis as a Technical Support Provider and will see 4 new blocks of bedrooms created for junior ranks.

Each block contains a kitchenette, drying rooms, laundry rooms and social spaces, as well as 69 single ensuite rooms.

The buildings have been designed to be as carbon efficient as possible as part of MOD and wider government push towards net zero. They will benefit from solar panels and be heated using air source heat pumps.

Other energy efficiency measures include:
- provision for a system to recover heat from the waste water in the showers
- temperature-controlled heating zones
- energy efficient LED lighting
- electric car charging points
The contract value also includes provision of car parking, street lighting and landscaped outdoor communal areas. The contractors will be using local suppliers and labour as much as possible to benefit the local economy.

John Weatherby, DIO’s Principal Project Manager, said:

It’s fantastic to have reached this important milestone in our goal to transform the accommodation provision at RAF Digby with some high-quality new rooms for junior ranks serving at the station. We look forward to working with Galliford Try on the designs as we prepare for the start of construction in the coming months.

Wing Commander Neil Hallett, Station Commander RAF Digby, said:

This is an eagerly anticipated announcement welcomed by the service men and women stationed here. Having modern Single Living Accommodation will significantly improve the lived experience and there is buzz of excitement across the station following this contract award.

This investment into Royal Air Force Digby is a clear demonstration by the MOD of its intent to enhance the accommodation offer to our personnel while making buildings more sustainable.

Bill Hocking, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, said:

We are delighted to be continuing our partnership with the DIO to deliver this much-needed facility for those serving at RAF Digby. We have a strong track record in providing this kind of facility to the armed forces and look forward to ensuring the personnel receive the high-quality living spaces they deserve.

Construction is expected to start in March.
