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.

AAIB investigation to DJI Avata 2, (UAS registration n/a)
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-08)

Loss of control during flight, Prince George’s Playing Fields, Surrey, 30 November 2024

The operator reported that the UA was returning to base because of a low battery indication when it “pitched up steeply, was unable to recover and bounced off the grass at low altitude”. The UA reportedly stopped responding to control inputs and accelerated forwards and upwards, clearing a road and fence, before entering the grounds of a football club. It overflew an ongoing football match before entering a spectator stand. Nobody was struck by the UA and there was no damage to property.

The operator reported that the UA was returned to the manufacturer under warranty, and they had agreed to provide a replacement.

Building virtual power plants: incentives and automation for demand-side flexibility
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-02)

Achieving global net zero emissions targets necessitates the rapid deployment and integration of variable renewable energy onto the grid.

Abstract

Achieving global net zero emissions targets necessitates the rapid deployment and integration of variable renewable energy onto the grid, making the task of balancing the energy system increasingly challenging as patterns of generation and demand are not aligned over the hours of the day. Demand-side management has the potential to offer at least a partial solution to the intermittency challenge, as consumers often use energy services that are time-flexible. The usage of power-intensive household appliances such as air conditioners, washing machines, dryers and immersion heaters could potentially be delayed by short time intervals if users are adequately incentivised to do so. Simple and innovative IoT technologies such as smart thermostats and smart switches are now available to automate demand-side response.

This paper is part of the Private Enterprise Development in Low-Income Countries (PEDL) programme.

UK conveys its appreciation and recognition of the courage and commitment shown by the First Polish Independent Parachute Brigade during Operation Market Garden

Last September, the British Embassy in The Hague commemorated the 80th anniversary of Operation Market Garden and the Battle of Arnhem in the Netherlands when British airborne forces, alongside our Allies, including the 1st Polish Independent Parachute Brigade under the command of General Sosabowski, fought side by side for our freedom.

On this 80th anniversary, the UK government has conveyed to the Polish authorities and to the last surviving Polish veteran of the battle, Mr Bolek Ostrowski, its gratitude, appreciation and recognition of the courage and commitment shown by Polish forces in and around Driel and Oosterbeek in September 1944. This includes helping many British airborne forces withdraw across the river when it was clear that the Allies would be unable to take the Bridge at Arnhem.

We will forever be grateful.

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 Seeding Hope CIC 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 Seeding Hope CIC 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
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 potential for enterprise level eCooking in Nepal
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-06)

This study looks at identifying the opportunities and challenges for enterprise level transitions to eCooking.

Abstract

Nepal possesses abundant hydropower potential for electricity generation, presenting an opportunity to promote electricity as a modern cooking fuel for enterprises. Transitioning to electric cooking can help Nepal achieve its Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets, improve the well-being of cooks with safer options, and strengthen the nation’s energy security. Reducing dependence on LPG imports would also mitigate the risks of supply disruptions, price fluctuations/hikes, offering economic benefits. Thus, a shift to eCooking at the enterprise level holds substantial advantages from both a national and utility perspective. Within this context, this study focusses on identifying the opportunities and challenges for enterprise level transitions to eCooking.

The research assesses the extent of a possible shift to eCooking within enterprises and the assistance required for enabling transitions. For this study, a total of 162 enterprises across 5 enterprise categories (89 restaurants, 21 hotels, 19 canteens, 14 café/bakery shops, and 19 banquets) were surveyed inside the Kathmandu valley. Six ethnographic studies, a market survey and one focus group discussion were also conducted. Overall, the research findings indicate clear opportunities for electric cooking transitions in enterprises. A majority of the respondents from restaurants (70.8%), hotels (57.1%), canteens (57.9%), banquet (73.7%) and cafés/bakeries (78.6%) considered eCooking beneficial while most restaurants (52.8%), hotels (52.4%), and cafes (85.7%) stated their willingness to transition to eCooking although the percentage of canteens and banquets was less in comparison (26.3% and 31.6% respectively). In addition, most enterprises already used Cooking in some form, with the findings indicating larger transitions are feasible.

This paper is from the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) programme.

Police funding for England and Wales statistics
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-13)

Providing a single source of statistical information on police funding levels.

Accredited Official Statistics status

In 2021 this statistical series underwent an OSR assessment of compliance with the Code of Practice for Statistics (https://code.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/). Shortly after the publication of Police Funding: England and Wales 2015 to 2022 (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-funding-for-england-and-wales-2015-to-2022), in July 2021, the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR) wrote to the Home Office confirming their designation of Accredited Official Statistics (https://osr.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/correspondence/ed-humpherson-to-daniel-shaw-national-statistics-designation-for-police-funding-for-england-and-wales-statistics/).

User engagement survey

To expand on the work started as a part of the OSR assessment of these statistics, we have launched a user engagement survey (https://www.homeofficesurveys.homeoffice.gov.uk/s/UFY33W/) to help shape future publications of these statistics.

We want to identify further current uses and users of the data as well as provide a chance for users to give their suggestions on how the publication can better meet their needs. Whilst the survey will be anonymous by default, we encourage regular users who are interested in establishing an ongoing dialogue with the Home Office to provide their contact details when prompted, as this will help develop the statistics and our user engagement plan. For more information on user engagement see chapter 4 of the user guide (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/police-funding-for-england-and-wales-user-guide/police-funding-for-england-and-wales-user-guide#user-engagement).
