Source: gov.uk (2025-05-26)

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) commissioned NatCen to undertake research on individuals’ employment statuses for rights purposes in the UK labour market.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) commissioned independent agency The National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) to undertake research on individuals’ employment statuses for rights purposes in the UK labour market. This included a survey to produce an updated estimate of the total ‘worker’ population in the UK and follow-up qualitative research with individuals who had responded to the survey about their employment status.

A nationally representative survey of 8,767 UK adults aged 18 to 64 was carried out using a sample from the probability-based NatCen Opinion Panel. Survey interviews were conducted online and over the phone, and fieldwork ran from 18 May 2023 to 18 June 2023. the follow-up qualitative research consisted of 19 in depth interviews with individuals identified as ‘highly likely to be a worker’ by the survey and fieldwork ran from July to August 2023.

How ACE drives mission impact at pace in some of the hardest-hitting situations facing government and wider society.

On June 18th the Accelerated Capability Environment (ACE) brought together over 80 people across government, industry and academia, to tackle some of the most pressing issues facing government and wider society, with a focus on knife crime.

We demonstrated our ability to drive mission impact at pace through a range of work, from Rape and Serious Sexual Offences (RASSO) to the world of deepfakes.

We shared inspirational capabilities, tools and approaches already helping to solve some of these challenges, through 10 suppliers and universities from the ACE community.

We provided a collaborative space to have open conversations and share ideas on how we might pull together and intervene, to lead to better outcomes.

But there was one part of the day that really hit home. Where the emotion was so raw and the stories so powerful, that everyone stopped and listened. We got to hear stories from three people with lived experience about the devastating impact of knife crime.

Martin Cosser, the father of 17-year-old Charlie Cosser, who was murdered almost two years ago, shared his family’s story. Charlie’s death, perpetrated by someone who decided to carry and use a knife, led to the creation of Charlie’s Promise, (https://www.charliespromise.org/) a campaign against knife crime.

Chantell Hayles, a knife crime survivor, spoke about her own experiences of bullying and violence from other young girls, and an abusive relationship which only ended when her partner died suddenly. She now runs Living Without Limits (https://www.livingwithoutlimits.org.uk/), to provide young people with a platform to be heard and to support those living through similar experiences, especially young girls who are often overlooked in knife crime narratives.

Tim Haigh, a former gang member and knife carrier, told how his early potential was derailed by crime, leading to nine years in prison and a near fatal addiction. He now works through Lived Experience Speakers, (https://livedexperiencespeakers.com/) helping others avoid the path he took.

At ACE we create experiences and connections to some of the hardest-hitting situations facing society. We don’t shy away from the cutting emotion or minimise the realities that people face. Instead, we give them a voice, a platform and access to the people that can make a difference and help others avoid similar situations.

Lived experiences working alongside industry, academia and government.

RFIG21280 - Statutory Residence Test (SRT): Split year treatment: Case 8 - The UK and overseas parts of the tax year
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)


The UK part of the tax year starts on the date you have a home in the UK and continues until the end of the tax year.

The overseas part of the tax year is from the beginning of the tax year until the start of the UK part of the tax year.

Example

Nicola is retired, she is non-resident in the UK for tax purposes having lived in Cyprus for a number of years. She has a home in Cyprus and she also has a property in the UK which has been let out on a commercial basis for the last few years.

She recently became a grandmother, and decides she will split her time between Cyprus and the UK so that she can see more of her grandson, who lives in the UK.

She comes back to the UK and moves into the UK property when the rental agreement with her tenant expires on 4 August 2014. She now has 2 homes, 1 in each country.

Between 6 April 2014 and 4 August 2014 when she started to have a UK home, Nicola only spent 4 days in the UK, visiting her daughter; and therefore did not exceed the limit for days spent in the UK in the overseas period before she started to have a UK home.

Nicola meets the criteria for Case 8 for 2014-2015 on the basis that:
- she was not UK resident for 2013-2014
- she is UK resident for 2015-2016 (Nicola is possibly dual resident in UK and Cyprus)
- she continues to have a home in the UK for the rest of 2014-2015 and the following year
- she did not have sufficient UK ties to make her resident from 6 April 2014 until 4 August 2014
Nicola does not meet the criteria for Cases 4, 5, 6 or 7 split year treatment.

The UK part of the split year starts on 4 August 2014, which is when Nicola starts to have a home in the UK.

Cozy Mk IV (G-BYLZ), loss of engine power on final approach, Gloucestershire Airport, 18 March 2025

The aircraft was on final approach to Runway 09 at Gloucestershire Airport when the engine lost power, resulting in the aircraft landing short of the runway and colliding with the ILS localiser antenna array. A plastic air induction elbow attached to the engine had softened and collapsed during the landing approach, causing the loss of power. The Light Aircraft Association (LAA) intends to take two safety actions in response to this accident concerning the use of 3D printed parts.

The 8 role categories are now:
- new to care
- care or support worker
- enhanced care worker
- personal assistant
- supervisor or leader
- practice leader
- deputy manager
- registered manager
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) developed the pathway in partnership with:
- Skills for Care (SfC)
- representatives from the adult social care workforce
- people who draw on care and support
The pathway has been informed by responses to the call for evidence (https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/care-workforce-pathway-for-adult-social-care-call-for-evidence), which ran for 8 weeks in April and May 2023.

DHSC, in partnership with SfC, is committed to continue to build on the progress we have made. We want to ensure we meet our ambition to develop a comprehensive, universal career structure for adult social care.

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.

Making Work Pay: collective redundancy and fire and rehire
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-04)

The government is seeking views on strengthening remedies against abuse of rules on collective redundancy and fire and rehire.

The government is seeking views on measures to strengthen the collective redundancy framework and protections for employees against fire and rehire practices.

For the collective redundancy framework, the government is seeking views on the proposal to increase the maximum period of the protective award that a tribunal can award.

The government is considering 2 options:
- increase the protective award that a tribunal can award from 90 to 180 days
- remove the cap on the protective award entirely
The government is also seeking views on whether interim relief should be available to employees who bring claims for the protective award.

For fire and rehire practices, the government is seeking views on whether interim relief should be available to employees who are bringing an unfair dismissal claim under the new right which will be introduced by the Employment Rights Bill (subject to Parliament’s approval).

Consumer products: buying second-hand goods
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-03)

Things to consider when buying second-hand goods.

Consumers are more aware than ever how their purchasing habits can impact the environment, with an increasing desire to reduce unnecessary waste. In the current economic climate second-hand goods can also be a good way to save money and support local businesses. The growth of online marketplaces and platforms makes it easier than ever to search for and purchase second-hand goods.

However, while used products sold commercially must be safe, they may pose increased safety risks due to worn out components, a lack of modern safety features and modified elements, some of which may not be visible or obvious to users. In addition, some vintage products may no longer meet current safety regulations, for example containing banned substances such as certain chemicals.

It is therefore always important consumers check instructions are included and ensure the purchase is from a trusted source. We also advise consumers:
- Ensure the product is not subject to a Product Recall – check the list of Product Safety Alerts, Reports and Recalls. (https://www.gov.uk/product-safety-alerts-reports-recalls)
Great caution should be taken around second-hand baby products:
- Only purchase cot mattresses if they are in a good condition. See the website of the Lullaby Trust for more details (link below).
- Do not buy second-hand baby car seats as the structural integrity can be compromised by accidents and damage may not be visible.
- If possible, physically check an item before purchase, especially if buying a product where any wear and tear may make it more dangerous to the user, such as a child’s toy.
- Check any instructions are provided with the product or are available online, particularly when purchasing electrical and mechanical devices, or where incorrect use could be dangerous (such as water-sports equipment).
- Confirm from the seller that no modifications have been made to a product to extend its lifespan or adjust its performance. Certain products may have an increased safety risk if they have been altered.
Read further product safety advice for consumers. (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/consumer-product-safety-advice-for-staying-safe)

If you have already purchased a used item and suspect a safety issue, you can report to relevant authorities in your region who may share with local trading standards.

Masonic Order of Athelstan

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 Masonic Order of Athelstan will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:

The Casinos (Gaming Machines and Mandatory Conditions) Regulations 2025: impact assessments - RPC opinion (green-rated)
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-14)

Regulatory Policy Committee opinion of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s impact assessments (IA) in respect of the regulations

The regulations are part of a package that amends restrictions applying to some gaming products, giving casinos greater freedom about what they can offer customers. The package is intended to modernise the rules that apply to casinos and to help the sector to grow, while ensuring that appropriate safeguards against gambling-related harm are in place. The regulations make two small changes to provide consistency between small and large casinos, including alignment of the machine-to-table ratios, increasing the ratio in small casinos from 2:1 to 5:1.

The nature of the regulations means that they would not impose a disproportionate implementation cost on small, micro or medium-sized businesses, which are not exempt. As the regulations are permissive and deregulatory, they are likely to be beneficial to small, micro and medium businesses also as they would choose to invest in additional machines only where the benefit of doing so would exceed the cost. The IA notes, however, that operators are less likely to be small and micro businesses due to the amount of capital and numbers of staff they need to operate. Given the largest cost to business is purchasing and installing new gaming machines, which is linked to the overall size of casinos, the IA explains that this cost is likely to increase with the size of the business. Similarly, the benefits are likely to be greater for larger operators as they are more likely to have the physical space and financial ability to invest in new machines.

Costs to business include for familiarisation, and purchasing and implementing additional gaming machines. Benefits to business are increased gross gambling yield for casinos and unquantified benefits to gaming machine suppliers and manufacturers. The IA estimates that the regulations would have an equivalent annual net direct cost to business of -£31 million. The total benefit to business over the ten-year appraisal period is estimated to be £271 million.

The IA (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2025/91/pdfs/ukia_20250091_en.pdf) provides a sufficient level of assessment of direct impacts on business and monetises these where possible. The IA should, however, provide a more robust, balanced assessment of societal costs because of the risk of increased gambling harm, as well as providing more narrative on international evidence. Given the reliance on findings from consultation, the IA should provide more detail on the characteristics of consultation respondents.
