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 FourOneBravo Group 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 FourOneBravo Group 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
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- 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.

The data is broken down by headcount and number of posts (full-time equivalents). The report includes the number of non-payroll staff, and the pay bill costs relating to staff, broken down into component parts (for example, salaries, allowances, and employer’s pensions contributions).

Data from 2010 onwards (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/structure-and-salaries-series) is also available.

Notes to accompany the monthly workforce management information

These figures are not official statistics. They are internal workforce management information published in the interests of transparency.

These figures have not been reconciled centrally with any national statistics. Where differences appear between the monthly information and national statistics, clarifying comments will be provided. The Office for National Statistics quarterly public sector employment statistics provide an official headline measure for comparing the overall size of employment in central government organisations with other sectors of the economy at the relevant quarterly reference point.

Some organisations may not have information available for each month, and at this stage coverage may therefore not reach 100% for those organisations in scope.

Given the wide range of organisations covered, caution should be exercised when drawing inferences from the figures and care should be taken when making comparisons between organisations. Users should refer to the additional commentary and notes.

INTM602060 - Transfer of assets abroad: Non-domiciled individuals taxation up to 5 April 2025: The income charge - the income affected by domicile status
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-07)


For the purpose of the transfer of assets income charge, domicile status can only affect foreign income, and then only where that income is not received in or remitted to the UK.

Whether income is, or is not, foreign income is a matter to be discerned from the facts and any relevant law and will usually be a consideration before applying the transfer of assets legislation. But the type or category of income of the person abroad need only be considered where domicile status is claimed to make a difference to the amount that would otherwise be charged under the transfer of assets provisions.

In considering, where it is relevant to do so, what the type of income is, you must look at the income in the hands of the person whose income it actually is; that is, in the hands of the person abroad.

It may be appropriate to consult with relevant specialists to determine the true character of any income potentially within the scope of the transfer of assets provisions. For example, where it is suspected that arrangements have been entered into in an attempt to exploit domicile status by creating what is described as foreign income.

The UK welcomes the Office of the Prosecutor’s continued focus on Darfur: UK Statement at the UN Security Council
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-10)

Statement by Legal Adviser Colin McIntyre at the UN Security Council meeting on Sudan.

Let me begin by stressing the United Kingdom’s condemnation of the recent cyberattack against the ICC.

The UK has committed funds to strengthen the Court’s cybersecurity framework and we are pleased that this incident was swiftly contained.

Mr President, I will make three points today.

First, we welcome the Office of the Prosecutor’s continued focus on Darfur.

In this regard, we are gravely concerned by the findings of the Office of the Prosecutor that there are reasonable grounds to believe that war crimes and crimes against humanity may have been committed, and indeed are continuing to be committed, in Darfur.

We also echo the report’s concerns about the situation in El Fasher. Large-scale attacks carried out on Zamzam IDP camp in April 2025 reportedly displaced over 400,000 people and continue to affect the population.

It is appalling that their suffering is compounded by denials of aid.

We call on the parties to the conflict to allow and facilitate the rapid and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance.

Second, we note the continued cooperation of the Sudanese authorities, including the facilitation of the recent visit to Port Sudan.

Given the significant challenges faced by the Office in implementing its mandate, we encourage the Sudanese authorities to redouble their efforts to cooperate with the Office, particularly in relation to the arrest and transfer of individuals subject to ICC arrest warrants, including Mr Ahmad Harun.

Third, we welcome the enhanced cooperation between the Prosecutor’s Office and other actors, including civil society organisations and the UN Fact Finding Mission for Sudan.

We commend the Office of the Prosecutor and the Fact Finding Mission’s ongoing documentation efforts and their commitment to delivering concrete progress.

Mr President, the Sudanese people deserve justice.

We therefore call for the SAF and the RSF to immediately cease hostilities and prioritise the protection of civilians in line with resolution 2736.

Accountability must go hand in hand with finding a political solution to this horrific war and ending the cycle of impunity that has scarred Sudan for decades.

Mr President, let me conclude by reiterating that the UK supports the independence of the International Criminal Court and does not support the sanctioning of individual court officials.
CTM40650 - Particular bodies: investment clubs
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-18)


An investment club normally comprises a group of friends, neighbours or work colleagues who pool resources to buy and sell shares on the stock market. It will normally be an unincorporated association. As such, it falls within the definition of company for tax purposes at CTA10/S1121 (1).

However, investment clubs generally hold funds in a fiduciary capacity and consequently are outside the Corporation Tax charge, see CTA09/S3 (2). It follows that there is no need to set up a CT record or issue any CTSA returns in most cases. Individual members are instead charged to tax on their proportionate share of any income or chargeable gains and are entitled to relief in respect of their share of any capital losses.

There is more detailed guidance on investment clubs, and the procedures to be followed in respect of them, at CG20600 (http://home.active.hmrci/cgmanual/cg20600.htm) onwards.

Exploration of how people living in urban areas of Tanzania learn to cook
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-09)

This study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the ways in which individuals acquire cooking skills in urban areas of Tanzania, and the factors that influence their cooking practices.

Abstract

Cooking skills has traditionally been passed down from mothers to daughters within households. With increasing use of digital platforms and social media, the learning and teaching of cooking skills has been changing, particularly in urban areas. This study was guided by the hypothesis that the acquisition of cooking skills has moved away from the family and household. It was further guided by 9 research questions, which explored the ways in which individuals learned to cook, the influence of digital platforms, the role of generation, the types of dishes and techniques learned, the emotional elements of cooking, aspirations and ambitions for cooking, the future of cooking, and the perception of modern energy.

This is an output of the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) programme.

ECSH82840 - Sanctions for non-compliance: financial penalties: financial penalties framework: definition of knowingly concerned in a contravention of the regulations
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-16)


'Knowingly concerned' is not defined in The Money Laundering Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017).

The definition is if the individual knew what they were supposed to do, or if they were expected to know what to do but failed to do it, then they are knowingly concerned in a contravention. Below is some case law.

In SIB v Scandex Capital Management [1998] 1WLR. 712, (https://www.casemine.com/judgement/uk/5a938b3f60d03e5f6b82bc3a) the Securities and Investment Board (a predecessor to the Financial Conduct Authority) sought a compensation order against a director on the basis that he had been ‘knowingly concerned’ in the contravention by Scandex of a regulatory requirement. Millett LJ (as he then was), endorsed an earlier dictum of Neville J in Burton v Bevan [1908] 2 Ch 240 at 246-247, which concerned whether the defendant had ‘knowingly contravened’ a particular statutory provision. Neville J said:

“I think that 'knowingly' means with knowledge of the facts upon which the contravention depends. I think it is immaterial whether the director had knowledge of the law or not. I think he is bound to know what the law is, and the only question is, did he know the facts which made the act complained of a contravention of the statute?”

Knowingly concerned therefore means the individual:

Knew or should reasonably have known about the obligation within MLR 2017.

Knew – or should reasonably have known – that the contravention was occurring and,

Did not act to prevent the contravention from occurring.

The DM needs evidence that there is a contravention of the relevant requirements by the business and also have evidence the individual concerned was knowingly concerned in that contravention as defined in the three bullets above.

Finns travelling to UK need an Electronic Travel Authorisation
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-26)

Visitors travelling to the UK on a European passport will need an ETA from 2 April 2025. Travellers can apply for an ETA from 5 March 2025 onwards.

Electronic Travel Authorisations (ETAs) (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta) are being introduced worldwide for visitors to the UK who do not currently need a visa for short stays, or who do not already have a UK immigration status.

Eligible Europeans can apply for an ETA from 5 March 2025 and will need an ETA to travel from 2 April 2025.

An ETA is a digital permission to travel. Applying for an ETA is quick and simple. The fastest way to apply is using the UK ETA app (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/using-the-uk-eta-app).

An ETA permits multiple journeys to the UK for stays of up to six months at a time over two years or until the holder’s passport expires – whichever is sooner.

The introduction of ETAs is in line with the approach many other countries have taken to border security, including the US and Australia.

How do I apply for an ETA?

Information on who can get an ETA and how to apply before coming to the UK is available on GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/eta).

The easiest way to apply for an ETA is through the UK ETA app, which can be downloaded from Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.gov.HomeOffice.ho3&hl=en_US) or Apple App Store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/uk-eta/id6444912481). You can also apply on GOV.UK (https://apply-for-an-eta.homeoffice.gov.uk/apply/electronic-travel-authorisation/how-to-apply).

Please use the official UK ETA app or the GOV.UK site to apply for your ETA to avoid scam sites.

How long does it take?

Most applicants get an automatic decision in minutes when applying through the UK ETA app, which means spontaneous trips to the UK are still possible.

Visitors are advised to allow three working days for a decision on their application, but this is to take account of the small number of cases which need further review. It is always better to apply for your ETA well in advance.

To apply for an ETA, applicants need to:
- Pay a fee (£16)
- Provide contact information and passport details
- Provide a valid photo, complying with rules for digital photos on GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/photos-for-passports)
- Answer a set of questions
NOTE: You must travel using the same passport you used when you applied for your ETA. If you get a new passport, you will need to get a new ETA.

For more information and regular updates on ETAs, please visit GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-eta)

Futures Toolkit: tools for strategic futures for policymakers and analysts
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-04)

The Futures Toolkit provides a set of tools to help you develop policies and strategies that are robust in the face of an uncertain future.

Government departments often need to make decisions that will affect people for decades. But the future is unpredictable – technology, society and the environment can change in ways that we do not expect. Traditional forecasting, which relies on past trends, is insufficient because it assumes the world will stay broadly the same. Policymakers needed a way to think ahead and prepare for different possibilities.

The Government Office for Science developed the Futures Toolkit – a practical guide with 12 tools that help people explore “what might happen” and plan for it. The tools include methods including Horizon Scanning (spotting early signs of change), Scenarios (imagining different future worlds), and Policy Stress-Testing (exploring whether a policy would work under different conditions). The toolkit also offers “pathways” – step-by-step combinations of tools for specific goals, such as creating a shared vision or testing policy options quickly. It encourages involving diverse voices, challenging assumptions, and thinking beyond the short term.

Using these tools helps policymakers make smarter, more resilient decisions. Instead of being caught off guard by sudden changes, they can prepare for a range of possible futures. For example, the Food Standards Agency used the toolkit’s Delphi method (a tool for gathering expert opinions anonymously to reach consensus and measure diversity of views) to gather expert views on how the UK food system might change over the next 10 years. This helped shape their research priorities. Other organisations have used the toolkit to plan for issues including climate change, technology and the economy. The main benefit is better long-term planning, which means policies are more likely to succeed even when the world changes in unexpected ways.

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.

Women’s Reproductive Health Survey 2021 national pilot: contraception and abortion results
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-30)

Analysis of the Women’s Reproductive Health Survey (WRHS) 2021 national pilot, with a report focused on contraception and abortion.

In 2021, Public Health England (PHE), which was previously an executive agency of the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), commissioned the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) to develop and pilot a new Women’s Reproductive Health Survey (WRHS) tool.

The resulting WRHS national pilot was delivered online between 1 July and 17 August 2021 to women in England aged 16 to 54 years old. The pilot received over 13,450 responses.

The survey was designed to capture women’s experiences of reproductive health and patterns of service user, and identify disparities in access and outcomes. Questions in the survey covered themes on:
- menstrual health, from menarche to menopause
- preventing and planning pregnancy, including abortions
- pregnancy experiences and intentions (which usually affects women between ages 16 to 54)
The analysis and report of the national pilot is focused on key findings on contraception and abortion. We do not plan to analyse themes on the other topics from the pilot as the data set has been superseded by the main Women’s Reproductive Health Survey 2023, which received over 59,332 responses. LSHTM published their headline findings from the WRHS 2023 on 17 October 2024 (https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/research/centres-projects-groups/reproductive-health-survey-england).

Publication of the analysis and report of the WRHS 2021 national pilot was delayed due to a combination of factors including the transition of work on the survey from PHE (on its closure) to DHSC and its assimilation into DHSC’s broader work programme.

Change NHS: help build a health service fit for the future
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-01)

The government is seeking your views on how we can make a health service fit for the future.

The 10 Year Health Plan is part of the government’s health mission to build a health service fit for the future.

The first step in the process was Lord Darzi’s independent review of the NHS in England (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/independent-investigation-of-the-nhs-in-england) to understand the true scale of the challenge facing the health service. That was published on 12 September 2024. Now that we have the results of that investigation, the government is working to develop a plan to tackle the challenges it identifies.

The plan will set out how we will deliver an NHS fit for the future, creating a truly modern health service designed to meet the changing needs of our changing population. This will not be a top-down imposition. The government will co-develop the plan with the public, staff and patients through a detailed engagement exercise.

To do this, we have launched ‘Change NHS: help build a health service fit for the future’. This is a national conversation to develop the 10 Year Health Plan.

As part of this, we want the public and health and care staff in England to share their views, experiences and ideas at the Change NHS online portal. The portal opened on 21 October 2024 and will run for several months.

This portal is alongside a series of events for people across the country to share their ideas and views over the coming months. This includes a number of regional events with the public and health and care workers to hold more detailed discussions on how we can fix the NHS.

This GOV.UK page gives an outline of the questions asked for public reference and holds the privacy notices for both the online portal and the ‘deliberative events’ taking place.

Alternative formats
