Legacies of military forced labour in Mali: traditional institutions and local development outcomes
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-31)

Examines the historical and contemporary impacts of a coercive labour regime within the French colonial military conscription system in Mali.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the need to understand the long-term developmental legacies of colonial forced labour systems. The preliminary results suggest that historical coerced labour practices have long-lasting effects on local development, especially on education, in a context where formal schooling emerged as a product of colonialism.

This is an part of the Structural Transformation and Economic Growth (STEG) programme.

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 STEM Learning 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 STEM Learning 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
- 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.
Independent Review of the Loan Charge
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-26)

The government has commissioned a new independent review of the Loan Charge.

At Autumn Budget 2024, the government committed to an independent review of the Loan Charge to help bring the matter to a close for those affected whilst ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.

On 23 January 2025, the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury made a Written Ministerial Statement (https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2025-01-23/hcws386) announcing that Ray McCann, a former President of the Chartered Institute of Taxation, would lead the review.

The review was tasked with examining the barriers preventing those subject to the loan charge from reaching resolution with HMRC and recommending ways to support them to settle. The review’s overarching objectives were to bring the matter to a close for those affected, ensure fairness for all taxpayers, and ensure that appropriate support is in place for those subject to the loan charge.

The review has now concluded, and its report has been published alongside the government’s response. In line with the review’s main recommendation, the government will establish a new settlement opportunity for those with outstanding loan charge liabilities.

HMRC has published guidance setting out what this means for those affected: HMRC operational activity during the new independent review of the Loan Charge (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hmrc-issue-briefing-operational-activity-during-the-new-independent-review-of-the-loan-charge/hmrc-operational-activity-during-the-new-independent-review-of-the-loan-charge#hmrcs-operational-approach)

ATACPD09300 - National Carnet Unit (NCU): destruction under customs supervision
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-24)


This manual will be archived on 15 December 2025. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email xxx@xxx.xx (mailto:xxx@xxx.xx) to let us know.

In certain circumstances, the third country carnet holder may wish to destroy their goods rather than re-export them from the UK.

The carnet holder must apply to the National Carnet Unit (NCU) before the goods are destroyed stating:
- the reasons for destruction
- where and when the destruction is intended to take place
- whether or not there will be any residue resulting from destruction.
This request should be made at least five working days before the planned destruction. Unless the NCU has any suspicion as to the reasons for destruction, the application should always be allowed. However, before informing the carnet holder, the NCU should liaise with local staff to establish, on a risk basis, whether or not a customs presence is required.

The NCU must then write to the carnet holder, informing them that destruction may take place and that a customs presence will or will not be required. The letter will also explain how to account for any dutiable residue resulting from destruction.

Following destruction, the carnet holder must send the carnet to the NCU, together with any duty due on the residue. The NCU will complete and remove the white re-exportation voucher and suitably endorse the white re-exportation counterfoil. The carnet should then be returned to the carnet holder.

Calculating duty due after destruction

Following authorised destruction, the residue, or waste and scrap can be either re-exported or released to free circulation.

If the goods are released to free circulation and the waste and scrap has a commercial value, duty will be due on the value of the waste and scrap at either the rate of duty applicable to the goods at the time of importation or the ‘own rate’ applicable to the waste and scrap at the time of release to free circulation. The ‘own rate’ is the rate shown in the Tariff against the commodity code for the waste product.

Judicial Summary

This decision is about the deciding the most appropriate descriptor in relation to the mental disorders found in Table 3 of Schedule 3 to the Armed Forces and Reserve Forces (Compensation Scheme) Order 2011.

It summarises the Court of Appeal’s decision in Christopher Pearson v Secretary of State for Defence [2024] EWCA Civ 150.

The First-Tier Tribunal’s (FTT’s) decision is set aside for inadequately reasoning out why the appellant did not more appropriately come within Item 1 in Table 3 instead of Item 2. The FTT’s narrative explanation of the appellant’s history provided no adequate evaluation of the comparative applications of Item 1 and Item 2 in relation to that evidence. Moreover, and as a necessary precursor to that comparative exercise, the FTT had failed to make any clear findings which identified the necessary base line about the level of work which was appropriate to the experience, qualifications and skills held by the appellant at the onset of his PTSD, so as to compare that with the nature and level of work which the appellant had been capable of undertaking since the onset of his PTSD.

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 Redruth School 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 Redruth School 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
- UK Wounded, Injured And Sick
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.

Joint Foreign Secretary-Home Secretary statement on Hong Kong announcing new arrest warrants for overseas activists
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-25)

The Foreign Secretary and Home Secretary have issued a response after Hong Kong announced new arrest warrants for overseas activists.

The Foreign Secretary and Home Secretary said:

“The Hong Kong Police Force’s issuing of further arrest warrants and bounties on individuals living in the UK is another example of transnational repression. It encourages reckless behaviour on UK soil and damages Hong Kong’s international reputation.

“The UK strongly opposes the National Security Law, which has eroded the rights and freedoms of Hong Kongers. We call on the Chinese and Hong Kong authorities to end the deliberate targeting of opposition voices in the UK and elsewhere.

“The UK is committed to human rights, the rule of law, and the safety of all individuals in the UK. That’s why we have taken further steps to complete the severing of ties between the UK and Hong Kong extradition systems by removing Hong Kong from the Extradition Act 2003.

“This Government will continue to stand with the people of Hong Kong, including those who have made the UK their home. We take the protection of their rights, freedoms, and safety very seriously, and will not tolerate any attempts by foreign Governments to coerce, intimidate, harass, or harm their critics overseas.”
Further education leadership mentoring programme
Source: gov.uk (2025-10-01)

Information about the support available from the further education (FE) leadership mentoring programme and how to apply.

The FE leadership mentoring programme is part of the active support available to all colleges and designated institutions.

The programme supports existing and aspiring leaders with high potential to develop and progress in their careers as well as assisting them in their current role. It also aims to create a stronger and more diverse pipeline to the most senior roles in further education.

Mentors are fully funded by the Department for Education and there is no cost to colleges. Places are limited and we expect mentees to commit the necessary time to participating.

Eligibility

The programme provides mentors to the following staff in the FE sector:
- chief executives
- principals
- finance directors
- senior leaders
We will prioritise staff who are members of their senior leadership team.

We are encouraging applications from staff with protected characteristics (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/section/4) who are underrepresented in college leadership positions. We will prioritise 15% of applicants who have a disability or come from ethnic minorities.

In the event of the programme being oversubscribed, we will seek to ensure that places are offered to the widest number of colleges spread across all regions of the country.

Support available

FE staff who join the programme will receive up to 12 hours of one-to-one leadership mentoring over a 6-month period.

The timing and duration of each mentoring session will be agreed between the mentor and mentee. We expect that most meetings will take place online, although we recommend that the first session is conducted face to face at the mentee’s place of work to give the mentor a better understanding of the context in which the mentee is working.

Our mentors

Our leadership mentors are highly skilled, with extensive experience in the FE sector.

They have previously held posts as chief executives, principals and finance directors at FE colleges. They have many years of expertise in:
- leadership
- change management
- curriculum and quality
- business planning
- teaching and learning
- governance
Our mentors with financial expertise have worked on developing and implementing financial strategies and recovery plans and on providing financial leadership for mergers.

Applications

Applications for the FE leadership mentoring programme are currently closed. We will update this page when we are accepting applications again.

Contact us if you have any queries regarding the programme.
