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 Genell Support 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 Genell Support 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

- 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.

CNC participates in Mental Health Awareness Week
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-12)

The Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) is participating in Mental Health Week, which runs from Monday 12 to Sunday 18 May.

Led by the Mental Health Foundation, Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW) aims to encourage conversation and reduce stigma around mental health.

This year the theme for the week is ‘community’, something we’re confident our workforce can feel part of thanks, in part, to our strong and diverse staff networks.

The Constabulary is proud to foster a strong culture of mutual support to all our officers and staff.

Our Occupational Health team provide a comprehensive offer to support mental and physical wellness. Our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), PAM Wellness, is a confidential and free service for employees and their families that offers guidance and counselling on a wide range of issues, including managing stress, anxiety, bereavement, medical concerns and money matters.

The EAP is complemented by the range of peer support networks available at the CNC, including qualified Mental Health First Aiders, the Diverse Ability and Wellness Network (DAWN), and Trauma Risk Management (TRiM) practitioners to support employees who have experienced traumatic events or environments on or off duty.

We work closely with our staff associations – the Civil Nuclear Police Federation for officers, and Prospect for police staff – which provide their members with further support.

And finally, as we know maintaining healthy bodies can help create a healthy mind, our officers and staff have access to free gyms, annual wellness assessments and free fitness advice from trained staff.

ACC Michael Vance, Chair of the Strategic Health, Safety and Wellbeing Group, said: “The CNC is committed to fostering an inclusive culture and creating a supportive working environment, so everyone can feel safe to be their authentic self at work and be enabled to reach their potential.

“Every one of our employees faces individual challenges that can impact their mental health, and so raising awareness, having open conversations and challenging the stigma around mental health is vitally important.”

This document sets out the high-level areas of research interest for MOJ with the aim of supporting ongoing and new engagement with the external research community.

The MOJ Areas of Research Interest (ARI) publication was delivered by the Evidence and Partnerships Hub in 2025. It sets out MoJ’s medium-term research priorities, aligned with the department’s strategic objectives for the justice system. It highlights where new research can have the most impact for policy and practice and has been the foundation of our partnerships with academia.

The ARI and our broader academic engagement reflect MOJ’s commitment to working in partnership with academic experts to maximise the use and impact of external knowledge for our decision-making.

Since publishing our previous ARI in 2020, the Evidence and Partnerships Hub has established an Academic Network of over 400 experts for collaboration and expertise, facilitated over 20 academic secondments to directly embed academic experts within MoJ, and run over 40 seminars for colleagues across MoJ to share the latest academic research and their implications for policy and practice. You can read more about academic engagement stemming from the 2020 ARI here (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ministry-of-justice-areas-of-research-interest-2020#documents) and in the knowledge exchange impact infographic.

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 Cubed Resourcing 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 Cubed Resourcing 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.

Constitution-building in deeply fragmented states: the role of local governance
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-14)

Explores governance in fragmented, conflict-affected states, where multiple actors vie for control.

Abstract

This discussion paper explores the complex realities of substate governance in fragmented, conflict-affected states, where multiple actors vie for control. It offers insights into why national-level processes must be grounded in local realities to be effective.

This research is supported by the Peace and Conflict Resolution Evidence Platform (PeaceRep).

Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) Guidance
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-20)

Member guidance on IPP/DPP sentenced individuals.

This guidance provides Parole Board panels with points to consider for both when undertaking parole reviews for prisoners sentenced to an Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) or Detention for Public Protection (DPP) sentence and for referrals to consider IPP/DPP Licence Terminations.

This guidance replaces the interim version issued in October 2024 which has now been withdrawn.

The guidance assists Parole Board panels with identifying ways of working to effectively manage such cases fairly and justly, whilst maintaining a focus on risk and the test for release and taking public protection as the over-riding priority.

This guidance additionally provides information to panels about the current initiatives and approaches taken by HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) colleagues for progressing IPPs and how these might support the panel when considering the test for release or a move to open conditions.

In September 2025, the Board published an IPP Licence Termination Practice Update. The Practice Update provides Parole Board members with best practice and policy advice when considering ‘community – standalone’ and ‘custodial’ IPP licence terminations. It was developed following a review of the practice queries and other issues that have arisen since the changes in legislation implemented in February 2025.

Further guidance can be found in the licence termination legal guide below, produced jointly by the Howard League for Penal Reform, the Prison Reform Trust and Prisoners’ Advice Service. The Howard League | Terminating your IPP licence: a legal guide (https://howardleague.org/publications/terminating-your-ipp-licence-a-legal-guide/)

This replaces all previous Parole Board guidance on IPP/DPP sentences.
