UK Academics receive Prince Mahidol Award 2024
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-31)

Two  scientists from the UK received Thailand’s Prince Mahidol Awards for 2024 for long and significant contribution in the field of Public Health and Medicine.

Today (30 January 2025) two scientists from the UK received Thailand’s Prince Mahidol Awards (https://www.princemahidolaward.org/) (PMA) for 2024 for their long and significant contribution in the field of Public Health and Medicine. Dr Jonathan Shepherd, a British surgeon and professor at Cardiff University in Wales (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/), and Dr Tony Hunter (dual US-UK national), a professor of Biology at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, USA have received the award, following on from Professor David Mabey, who received the award in 2019 for his work to eradicate trachoma, the most common infectious cause of blindness worldwide (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-scientist-receives-the-28th-prince-mahidol-award-2019).

The Award Presentation Ceremony was held at Thailand’s Royal Palace. Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, as the representative of His Majesty the King, presided over the Presentation Ceremony, in the company of the Privy Council, Bureau of the Royal Household and Cabinet members.

Dr Shepherd receives the Prince Mahidol Award (PMA) in Public Health for his creation of the ‘Cardiff Model of Violence Prevention (https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/documents/2665796-the-cardiff-model-for-violence-prevention)’ which is an evidence-based, multisectoral approach to violence prevention which has been endorsed by the World Health Organisation and integrated into multisectoral approaches to violence prevention from South Africa to Australia. Dr Shepherd’s research and commitment to evidence-based public policy has contributed to the development of ‘What Works Network (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/what-works-network)’. The Network, supported by the UK government, acts as an important interface between research and policymaking, ensuring that policy makers have access to the best evidence.

Professor Hunter who studied at the University of Cambridge in the UK, receives the Prince Mahidol Award in Medicine for his discovery of tyrosine kinase enzymes and the phosphorylation process, a crucial mechanism that transforms normal cells into cancerous cells. This breakthrough discovery led to the development of targeted cancer treatments and pharmaceutical innovation that can effectively inhibit cancer cells.

In 2024 the UK and Thailand established a Strategic Partnership, highlighting a shared commitment to advance global health by championing universal access to health care and strengthening partnerships to prevent, detect and respond to global health threats. This includes joint efforts to tackle antimicrobial resistance and infectious disease outbreaks including through the development and application of innovative technology, such as genomics.

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 National Association Of Head Teachers (NAHT) 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 National Association Of Head Teachers (NAHT) 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:
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- Armed Forces Day

Poverty scars the lives and life chances of our children. It is shameful that child poverty has increased by 700,000 since 2010, with over four million children now living in poverty in the UK and 800,000 children using foodbanks to eat. This is unacceptable. Delivering on our manifesto commitment to put this right is an urgent priority for this new government and for our country as a whole.

Supporting the fishing industry in removing litter from the sea while promoting sustainable waste management practices.

Key facts

Applicant name: KIMO UK

Location: England-wide (including South West, North England)

Type of project: Marine litter removal, improving sustainability and waste management

Project value: £265,367

Grant value: £199,025

Date awarded: 2021 – 2023

Project details

Fishing for Litter is a voluntary initiative that engages the fishing industry in reducing marine litter while raising awareness of its environmental and economic impacts. The scheme, run by KIMO UK, enables fishers to collect litter at sea and dispose of it responsibly at participating ports and harbours.

The project received funding from the Fisheries and Seafood Scheme (FaSS), allowing it to expand its impact by increasing available storage at ports, recruiting additional fishing vessels, and extending the initiative to more locations across the UK coastline. The funding has ensured the continuation of this initiative, which has been active for 18 years in the southwest of England, preventing thousands of tonnes of waste from polluting marine environments.

Project outcomes

Over 350 tonnes of marine litter collected since the project’s inception.

Enabled the continuation and expansion of the Fishing for Litter project, benefiting the fishing industry, the marine environment, and local coastal economies.

The inclusion of 57 new fishing vessels around England, with participation continuing to grow.

35 harbours across England now designated as drop-off points for collected litter.

Engaging with local communities and schools to promote environmental awareness and sustainable fishing practices.

Alignment with national and international marine conservation targets, including the OSPAR Regional Action Plan for Marine Litter, which aims for a 100% increase in participating vessels in the OSPAR area.

Recognition in Defra’s evaluation of the Fishing for Litter Scheme as the leading initiative for fishers to remove marine litter from UK waters.

Julia Cant a representative from KIMO UK, said:

“Thanks to FaSS funding, we’ve been able to expand our Fishing for Litter scheme and reach more fishers across the country. This initiative has not only helped remove significant amounts of litter from our seas but also strengthened the fishing industry’s role in marine conservation.”

Ukraine’s Security is our Security. Only a Just Peace Can Secure Ukraine’s Future: UK Statement to the OSCE
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-05)

UK Military Advisor, Lt Col Joby Rimmer, says that a sustained ceasefire is the quickest route to stop the killing. The UK supports ending the war in Ukraine through a just peace, while Russia obstructs progress.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Last week, we discussed the Code of Conduct, including its stipulation that “In the event of armed conflict, they will seek to facilitate the effective cessation of hostilities and seek to create conditions favourable to the political solution of the conflict”.

To that end, the UK shares President Trump’s desire to bring this war to an end, and will continue to work closely with the US, Ukraine and other international partners to secure a just and lasting peace. We thank Türkiye for hosting talks in Istanbul, including earlier this week. This is a once in a generation moment for the collective security of our continent. Only a lasting peace in Ukraine that safeguards its sovereignty will deter President Putin from further aggression in the future.

As we have noted each week, Ukraine continues to show its commitment to peace: Its constructive engagement with US peace efforts at every turn; agreement in principle to a full and unconditional ceasefire; sending a senior and empowered delegation to Istanbul; and President Zelenskyy’s readiness to meet President Putin face to face.

Russia, on the other hand, has taken steps to obstruct the pathway to peace. President Putin continues to reject a complete, unconditional and immediate 30-day ceasefire that President Zelenskyy endorsed nearly three months ago; refused to share his memorandum on terms for ending this illegal war in advance of Monday’s meeting; and rejected President Zelenskyy’s call for a direct meeting.

We continue to call on Russia to agree a full and unconditional ceasefire to create the space for negotiations on a framework for a lasting peace. A sustained ceasefire is the quickest route to stop the killing. Ukraine’s security is our security. UK support for Ukraine remains iron-clad, and our support will be sustained. Thank you, Madame Chair.

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 THOMAS MCMASTER & SON 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;

Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 THOMAS MCMASTER & SON 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
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
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.

Digital status, right to work: data protection impact assessment
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-13)

This DPIA concerns right to work, one of the 3 online services which enable people with an immigration status to check and share their status online.

This data protection impact assessment (DPIA) concerns “right to work”.

All employers have a responsibility to carry out right to work checks. This is done by employers conducting simple checks before they employ someone, to make sure the individual is entitled to take the work in question.

The Home Office has developed the online right to work checking service to support employers in conducting secure right to work checks and make it easier for individuals to demonstrate their right to work.

The service allows employers to check that current/prospective employees have the right to work in the UK, and any associated restrictions/conditions in respect of that right to work.
