Children’s social work post-qualifying standards and induction
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-20)

This consultation is for all those who receive and provide children’s social care services in England, and those who have an interest in it.

We are consulting on the post-qualifying standards and induction for child and family social workers and are seeking views on replacing the current post-qualifying standards at practitioner level with new ones which are clearer in the professional outcomes expected of new social workers and include descriptors of what they should understand and be able to do by the end of the second year in their role.

We are also seeking views on how we can support employers of social workers to provide a new two-year induction for their new social workers based on these post-qualifying standards.
Statement on Serco asylum accommodation list
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-26)

The list of local authorities Serco shared on its website for landlords is not a Home Office list and is not a list of existing or future asylum accommodation.

A Home Office spokesperson said:

The list of local authorities Serco shared on its website for landlords is not a Home Office list, nor is it a list of any existing or future asylum accommodation.

Serco is one of several companies contracted by the previous government 6 years ago to provide dispersal asylum accommodation in different regions and this list simply appears to reflect the geographical list of local authorities covered by the Serco contracts at that time.

We are restoring order to the asylum system and cutting costs to taxpayers by reducing the number of people we are required to accommodate through a rapid increase in asylum decision-making and the removal of more than 24,000 people with no right to be in the UK.

Source: gov.uk (2025-09-15)

Information on the independent Horizon Shortfall Scheme Appeals (HSSA) process for postmasters affected by shortfalls related to previous versions of Horizon.

The independent Horizon Shortfall Scheme Appeals process is open to applications from all eligible postmasters. For information about the deadlines for submitting your full application, see the eligibility section of the guidance and principles (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/horizon-shortfall-scheme-appeals-process-guidance-and-principles#eligibility).

The Post Office established the Horizon Shortfall Scheme (HSS) in 2020 to address past issues regarding its point-of-sale accounting software system, Horizon.

The Horizon Shortfall Scheme Appeals (HSSA) process, delivered by the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), seeks to ensure that HSS claimants have the full opportunity to receive fair redress and reflects a recommendation from the Horizon Compensation Advisory Board.

The central goal of the process is to deliver compensation to eligible postmasters that is full and fair. It aims to restore them to the position they would have been in had it not been for the Horizon-related actions of the Post Office, applying established legal principles and the principle of fairness.

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 NC 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 NC 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

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.

IEIM8000540 - Acquisitions and disposals of relevant cryptoassets against other relevant cryptoassets
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-04)


When a user exchanges one cryptoasset for another (like trading Bitcoin for Ethereum), the RCASP must report both sides of the transaction: the fair market value of the cryptoasset given up (the disposal) and the fair market value of the cryptoasset received (the acquisition), both after subtracting any transaction fees.

Example 1

Cryptoasset user trades cryptoasset A for cryptoasset B. The RCASP must report the value of cryptoasset A as the disposal and the value of cryptoasset B as the acquisition, based on their market prices at the time of the trade.

However, if the RCASP only handles one part of the transaction and doesn’t know what the user received in return then it doesn’t need to report the full trade. Instead, it should report the transaction as a transfer.

Example 2

Cryptoasset user sends cryptoasset C through RCASP A to buy cryptoasset D, but RCASP A doesn’t see the cryptoasset D side of the exchange. This is because cryptoasset D is transferred through RCASP B. Therefore, RCASP A should just report a transfer of cryptoasset C by the user.

Valuation

When a user exchanges one cryptoasset for another, the RCASP must determine and report the fair market value of both the cryptoasset disposed and the cryptoasset acquired, using a single fiat currency. This valuation should be done at the time of the transaction and applied consistently across all transactions.

Example 1

A cryptoasset user trades cryptoasset A for cryptoasset B, the RCASP can estimate the value of each by converting them to fiat currency at the time of the trade and then report those values for the acquisition and disposal.

If one of the cryptoassets is hard to value, such as a newly launched token with no clear market price, the RCASP should use the value of the other, more easily valued cryptoasset to estimate the transaction.

Example 2

Cryptoasset user trades cryptoasset A, which has a known fiat value, for cryptoasset B, which does not have a known fiat value. The RCASP can use the fiat value of cryptoasset A to estimate the value of cryptoasset B for reporting purposes.

ECSH55200 - Letting agency businesses conducting estate agency business or other supervised sector services
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-19)


It is not unusual for a letting agency business (LAB) to provide services which would fall within the definition of an estate agency business (EAB), due to the similarity and closeness between the property sales and lettings industries.

In such cases the business is acting as both a LAB and an EAB and its registration must reflect this, as must its compliance with The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017).

You should also refer to the sections of the Handbook relevant to EABs where the business is conducting relevant EAB activity – see ECSH53000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh53000).

Whilst the majority of LABs also offer EAB services, there are also a number of LABs that offer activities that fall under other supervised sectors, such as accountancy service provider (ASP).

In all cases the business' registration for AML supervision must describe all of the relevant activity it conducts, and the business must adhere to all of its obligations under the MLR 2017.

For further information on undertaking a compliance intervention, see ECSH55175 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh55175).

You should also refer to the sections of the Handbook relevant to any other sector where the business is conducting relevant activity – see the relevant ECSH50000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh50000) chapter.

MTT21290 - Calculating the effective tax rate: Adjusted profits: Election where assets and liabilities adjusted to fair value for tax purposes
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-05)


When an event has occurred (a ‘triggering event’), a member may be legally required or permitted to adjust, for domestic tax purposes, the value of its assets or liabilities to fair value (make a ‘relevant tax adjustment’). An example of a triggering event is a member leaving or joining a tax consolidation group.

The group can then elect for an adjustment to be made to the adjusted profits for MTT purposes, in accordance with section 216 of Finance (No.2) Act 2023. This allows the group to align MTT outcomes with local tax law.

This is an annual election that is made in respect of the relevant tax adjustment itself. See MTT52200 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/multinational-top-up-tax-and-domestic-top-up-tax/mtt52200) for guidance on making elections.

Relevant tax adjustment - exceptions

An adjustment cannot be a relevant tax adjustment if:
- it is made in connection with transfer pricing, or
- it is made in connection with the sale of assets in the course of carrying on a trade.
Effect of an election under section 216

Where an election is made:
- the member has an ‘adjustment amount’ in respect of each asset or liability that is subject to the relevant tax adjustment (the ‘relevant asset’), and
- for the purposes of determining the adjusted profits, the value of the relevant asset is to be treated as its fair value immediately after the triggering event.
This treatment is to apply for the adjustment period and all subsequent accounting periods.

In accordance with the election, the adjustment amounts are to be either:
- included in the adjusted profits of the member for the adjustment period, or
- split into five equal amounts to be included in the adjusted profits of the member in that period and the subsequent four accounting periods.
Adjustment period

The ‘adjustment period’ is the accounting period in which the relevant tax adjustment was made.

To determine the adjustment amount, subtract:
- the carrying value of the relevant asset immediately before the triggering event
from
- the fair value of the relevant asset immediately after the triggering event.
If the triggering event resulted in a non-qualifying gain, reduce the adjustment amount by the amount of that gain. In the case of a non-qualifying loss, increase the adjustment amount by the amount of that loss.

Member leaves the group before the end of the fourth accounting period subsequent to the adjustment period

Where:
- an adjustment amount has been split over five periods, and
- the member leaves the group before the end of the fifth period,
any part of the adjustment amount that has not been included in the adjusted profits of the member in a previous accounting period is to be included in the adjusted profits of the member for the final accounting period in which it was a member of the group.

Judicial Summary

No mistake of fact or law in two decisions of the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) including the Appellant on the Adults’ barred list (“ABL”) based upon the same incident on 8 November 2021 when the Appellant (“MC”) was acting as a care support worker for service user W. The Tribunal upheld the DBS’s finding of relevant conduct that the Appellant caused emotional harm to service user W by preventing him from legitimately using the kitchen and threatening him with violence. Appeal against inclusion on the ABL dismissed.

Mistake of law in decision of the DBS dated 3 March 2023 to include the Appellant on the Children’s barred list (“CBL”). There was no evidence to support any rational reason for the DBS to believe that the Appellant had engaged in regulated activity with children in the past nor that he might do so in the future. Appeal allowed and DBS directed to remove the Appellant from the CBL.

Defence Industrial Strategy 2025: Making Defence an Engine for Growth
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-18)

The defence sector plan of the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy.

The men and women who serve in our Armed Forces make extraordinary sacrifices to keep our nation safe. They are rightly respected here at home and abroad for their dedication and professionalism. Yet we know that when a country is under threat, its Armed Forces are only as strong as the industry that stands behind them.

Our Defence Industrial Strategy will make defence an engine for growth, backing British jobs, British industry and British innovation. The UK has one of the most advanced and innovative defence industrial bases the world over, but we are in a new era of threat, which demands a new era for UK defence. To move to warfighting readiness to deter threats and strengthen security in the Euro-Atlantic, we will reform procurement, innovate at wartime pace, and grow our industrial base.

The Defence Industrial Strategy will strengthen our security and grow our economy. With a clear plan backed by the largest sustained increase in defence spending since the end of the Cold War, this strategy outlines how our government and industry will now combine around a clear set of priority outcomes:
- Making defence an engine for growth.
- Backing UK-based businesses.
- Positioning the UK at the leading edge of defence innovation.
- Developing a resilient UK industrial base.
- Transforming procurement and acquisition systems.
- Forging new and enduring partnerships.

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 Isle of Wight Distribution 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;

CNC partners with Crimestoppers to strengthen anonymous reporting
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-01)

CNC has partnered with Crimestoppers to provide a 24/7, fully anonymous way to report misconduct, with a clear focus on tackling sexual harassment.

The Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) has today announced a new partnership with the independent charity Crimestoppers, providing officers and staff with a strengthened route for raising concerns anonymously.

The new service, which replaces CNC’s previous SafeCall system, aligns the organisation with most other Home Office police forces and reinforces its commitment to the highest standards of integrity, professionalism and ethical conduct.

Crimestoppers’ Police Integrity Line offers a completely independent and confidential platform where individuals can report misconduct, unethical behaviour, or workplace concerns without fear of identification or retaliation. The service operates 24/7 and guarantees anonymity, as no personal details are ever recorded.

A central focus of the partnership is supporting those who wish to report sexual harassment. CNC has made clear that such behaviour has no place within the organisation and will be met with zero tolerance. Through the Police Integrity Line, any police employee – regardless of gender – can safely and anonymously share their concerns.

Superintendent Alastair Stenner, Head of the Professional Standards Department, said the transition represents a key step in reinforcing CNC’s values and supporting a healthy, transparent culture.

“This is an opportunity to re-emphasise the behaviours we expect across the force. By backing this service with clear assurances and guidance, we are upholding both the spirit and the letter of our Code of Ethics. This includes making sure everyone, especially those affected by serious matters like sexual harassment, knows there is a trusted, anonymous route to speak up.”
