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 Eden Sustainable 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 Eden Sustainable 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
- 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.

Schools show improved cyber training rates but recovery times slow
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-30)

Enhanced data backup urged to protect against ransomware threats

Schools and colleges across England are making progress in cyber security training, but are struggling to recover quickly from attacks when they occur, new data from Ofqual reveals.

As part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month this October, the regulator is urging schools to ensure they are protected from malicious software and backups are in place to restore students’ coursework and other vital systems in the event of an attack.

The proportion of teachers who received cyber security training has risen by 11 percentage points from 61% during the academic year 2023 to 2024, to 72% in 2024 to 2025. Despite this, the time taken for schools to recover from cyber incidents has worsened - 55% of schools which experienced a cyber incident were able to recover immediately, compared to 63% the previous year.

Amanda Swann, Ofqual’s Executive Director of General Qualifications, said:

Cyber attacks can have a devastating impact on students’ academic work.

Schools and colleges experiencing cyber security incidents reported losing entire classes’ coursework and facing weeks of disruption to teaching and learning.

The poll also found that 29% of schools experienced a cyber security incident in the past academic year, down slightly from 34% previously. Despite this modest reduction in prevalence among those surveyed, the severity of the impact was greater with 10% of schools reporting critical damage from attacks, up from 6% the year before.

Teachers described the real-world consequences of cyber security attacks. One educator reported how an incident affected an entire academy trust, forcing staff to recreate lost schedules and resources. Another teacher reported having suffered an attack, describing it as, ‘awful for students’ coursework and staff planning, some things were gone forever’.

Ms Swann added:

Protection from malware and regular data backups are the most effective defence against these threats. Schools that maintain current, accessible backups can restore systems more quickly and avoid ransomware demands.

As schools become increasingly digital, robust cyber security measures protect both educational continuity and students’ academic futures.

What is Check Employment Status for Tax?

The online CEST (Check Employment Status for Tax) tool helps you determine a worker’s employment status for tax and National Insurance contribution (NIC) purposes.

It gives you HMRC’s view of a worker’s employment status based on the information you have provided.

It can also be used to check if changes to the contractual or working arrangements alter the employment status.

Why do you need to know the employment status for tax and NICs?

A worker’s employment status will determine who is responsible for working out the tax and NICs due and paying it to HMRC.

Employment status is not a choice; it is determined by several factors. CEST is specifically designed to help you work out a worker’s status based on those factors.

CEST Testing

The Check Employment Status for Tax (CEST) tool was rigorously tested during development in conjunction with HMRC’s lawyers against live and settled cases and reflects employment status case law.

Since the tool’s launch in 2017 we have been committed to continuous testing of CEST against emerging employment status case law. A list of settled cases which the tool has been tested against can be found here (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/gds/esm/attachments/240118_CEST_tool_tested_against_tax_cases_(V1.0).pdf). This will be updated routinely.

The CEST matrix is the logic the tool uses to make determinations. This is tested for consistency with settled caselaw. This can be found here (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/check-employment-status-for-tax-cest-2019-enhancement)

The Prime Minister spoke to the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi today.

The leaders began by celebrating the landmark UK-India Free Trade Agreement announced today – a deal which will add billions to the UK economy, boost wages and deliver on this government’s Plan for Change.

In a huge economic win for the UK, delivering for working people and British businesses, the Prime Minister underscored the need to go further and faster to get things done, to secure and renew our country.

Through pragmatism and purpose, the leaders noted that this historic deal is the biggest the UK has done since leaving the EU, and the most ambitious India has ever done. Prime Minister Modi also thanked the Prime Minister for his decisive leadership in getting the deal over the line.

Turning to the terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir last month, the Prime Minister reiterated his deep condolences at the tragic and senseless loss of life.

Finally, Prime Minister Modi extended an invitation to India, which the Prime Minister was pleased to accept and said he looked forward to visiting India at the earliest opportunity.

Seasonal closure for crawfish announced
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-17)

The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) has announced its decision on the next seasonal closure for crawfish in English waters of ICES area 7.

The closure will run from 17 November 2025 to 31 May 2026 and will apply to all UK and EU vessels and all types of gear.

While this was not one of the options offered in a consultation this summer the planned closure best reflects strong stakeholder feedback for a longer closure and follows advice, received in 2024, to more closely align to tides to extend fishing opportunities.

In coming to this decision MMO has considered the consultation responses and socio-economics.

This page lists all financial sanctions imposed in the UK by country, administration or terrorist group.

Financial sanctions which relate to a specific country or terrorist group are known as ‘regimes’. You can find the specific regulations and designated persons for each regime imposed in the UK on the pages below.

The prohibitions under each financial sanction are detailed in the relevant financial sanctions regulations. Regulations are imposed by:
- United Nation’s Security Council – the UK is a member so automatically imposes all financial sanctions created by the UN
- UK Government – a number of financial sanctions are created by the UK Government

CTM17320 - Distributions: demergers: legal costs
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-30)


The legal costs of advising on and arranging company demergers and similar reconstructions can be high and an area of significant risk. Claims to deduct such costs in computing trading income or to include them in management expenses should be examined critically. While the position in each case will depend on its particular facts, often the costs are disallowable, bearing in mind the following.

A share capital reorganisation, as with any new company formation, has a clear capital flavour. See Texas Land and Mortgage Co v Holtham (1894) 3TC255 and Kealy v O'Mara (Limerick) Ltd (1942) 21TC265, an Irish case.

The costs of acquiring, modifying or disposing of a capital asset are capital expenditure. The incidental costs, such as legal costs, take the same character. The case of CIR v Carron Co (1968) 45TC18, which involved the costs incurred by the company in obtaining a variation in its charter, is distinguishable because the charter was not regarded as a capital asset. This is unlike shares in a company which are clearly part of its capital (see Tucker v Granada Motorway Services Ltd (1979) 53TC92 at 108).

Expenditure on matters concerning ownership of a trade or part of a trade, rather than the carrying on of the trade itself, are unlikely to give rise to expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the trade, see Morgan v Tate and Lyle Ltd (1954) 35TC367 at 421. The company’s purpose in incurring the expenditure is what matters - see Vodafone Cellular & Others v Shaw (1997) 69TC376 and BIM38220 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim38220).

The High Court in Robinson v Scott Bader Co Ltd (1981) 54TC757, see BIM38250 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim38250), held that where a parent company incurred expenditure, of whatever nature, in connection with a subsidiary company, there are three possible situations. These are that the parent incurs the expenditure
- solely in the interests of the subsidiary,
- partly in the interests of the subsidiary and partly in its own interests, or
- solely in its own interests (see Odhams Press Ltd. v Cook (1940) 23TC233, at 257 - 258, per Lord Maugham; and Marshall Richards Machine Co. Ltd. v Jewitt (1956) 36TC511 at 525, per Upjohn J, see BIM37790 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim37790).
In the first and second situations the relevant expenditure is not deductible; but in the third deduction is permissible (applying Bentleys, Stokes and Lowless v Beeson (1952) 33TC491, see BIM37400 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/business-income-manual/bim37400)), notwithstanding the fact that the subsidiary receives a benefit.

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 SCL EDUCATION & TRAINING 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 SCL EDUCATION & TRAINING 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:
- UK Service Spouses And Partners

Employment support to members of the Armed Forces Community: We will prioritise military spouses for any open vacancies.

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.
