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.

Dr Marc Bailey has been appointed as the Forensic Science Regulator for England and Wales.

Dr Bailey is a scientist who has significant regulatory experience. He has held multiple roles within the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and led international research in quality systems and standardisation, including whilst working at the National Physical Laboratory.

This includes assessing compliance, providing advice to ministers, setting quality standards and ensuring that all forensic science providers adhere to these standards.

Dr Bailey will work closely with the police, forensic science providers and the legal profession to ensure that forensic science in England and Wales remains at the forefront of innovation and reliability.

Dr Bailey will officially assume his duties after Gary Pugh’s term concludes on 25 July 2025.

Crime and Policing Minister Dame Diana Johnson said:

Dr Bailey is going to bring a wealth of experience and expertise as the new Forensic Science Regulator.

This pivotal role is essential in ensuring the highest standards of forensic science are upheld.

By setting rigorous standards and providing robust oversight, the Forensic Science Regulator will continue to ensure that forensic science supports the work of the police, allowing them to investigate crimes and bring justice for victims.

I’d like to thank Gary Pugh for his previous work in this role.

Dr Bailey said:

I am delighted to be appointed to the post of Forensic Science Regulator.

I look forward to enacting and developing the regulation of Forensic Science and working with the team that support my role to ensure that the criminal justice system has full confidence in forensic science evidence.

1. How the Environment Agency defines odour pollution
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-03)

The definition of odour pollution that the Environment Agency uses to regulate industry and protect the public.

The Environment Agency has a duty to regulate odour from certain industrial processes and waste sites. This is to protect and improve public health and wellbeing.

The British Standard EN 13725:2022 defines odour as a:

sensation perceived by means of the olfactory organ in sniffing certain volatile substances.

The standard also defines an odorant as a:

substance which, when volatilised in neutral gas, has the potential to stimulate the human olfactory system so that an odour is perceived

The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 define pollution as:

any emission as a result of human activity which may: (a) be harmful to human health or the quality of the environment, (b) cause offence to a human sense, (c) result in damage to material property, or (d) impair or interfere with amenities or other legitimate uses of the environment

The Environment Agency will treat odorous emissions in the same way as any other polluting emission.

Harmful to human health or the quality of the environment

People may think that the quality of the environment where they live is poor if they experience offensive odours (smells).

People who experience odour pollution regularly report offence, discomfort, emotional distress and concern about what they might be exposed to.

Vulnerable individuals may be even more likely to be distressed by offensive odours. These can include people who have health concerns and pregnant women.

Family members and carers can also become concerned if they believe the people they care for are in danger or distress.

People sometimes report ill health symptoms which may be caused or made worse by stress. But causal links can be difficult to establish.

While carrying out its regulatory functions, the Environment Agency relies on advice about public health impacts from the United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA) (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/uk-health-security-agency).

Cause offence to a human sense

Odour pollution is one of the most frequent categories of pollution reported to the Environment Agency.

Damage to material property

Odour does not damage property.

Impair or interfere with amenities or other legitimate uses of the environment

People eating, attending community events or carrying out leisure activities can be especially affected by odour pollution incidents. Many reporters say that they are unable to enjoy their homes or gardens if there is odour pollution. Businesses or charities may also be affected as events are cancelled, or potential customers avoid a location.

Revenue and Customs Brief 3 (2025): VAT treatment of income received from charity fundraising events
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-13)

This brief provides information about the VAT treatment update for supplies by charities and qualifying bodies related to fundraising events, following the Upper Tribunal decision in January 2025.

This brief explains:
- the VAT treatment update for supplies by charities and qualifying bodies related to fundraising events, following an Upper Tribunal decision in January 2025
- charities and qualifying bodies planning to raise money through fundraising events need to read this
- Group 12, Schedule 9, VAT Act 1994 allows exemption for supplies made during fundraising events, but not all events qualify
- events must be organised primarily to raise money for the charity or qualifying body
- semi-regular or continuous activities like operating a shop or bar do not qualify as events
- an Upper Tribunal decision clarified which events qualify for exemption
- an Upper Tribunal found that an event can have more than one primary purpose, including fundraising
- the event must be promoted as a fundraising event, but not necessarily as the primary purpose
- HMRC’s policy remains that the primary purpose of the event must be fundraising and it must be advertised as a fundraising event
- charities must provide evidence if an event has more than one primary purpose
- events not organised to raise funds but which incidentally make a profit do not qualify for exemption
- fundraising events should be out of the ordinary, not business as usual
- the limit of 15 events of the same kind in the same location per fiscal year remains unchanged
- the anti-competition clause prevents distortion of competition with other suppliers of similar events and remains unchanged
For more information, read the guidance on VAT liability of income received from fundraising events (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/charity-fundraising-events-exemptions).

Information on telecare monitoring systems and personal alarms that can help you stay safe and independent at home.

Telecare, also called a community alarm service or a personal alarm, is a support system designed to help people live independently and safely in their own homes where they otherwise might not be able to do so. Telecare alarm systems can alert call centres or carers if individuals experience a problem, such as a fall at home or outside, depending on the device and its connectivity.

The NHS has further information on personal alarms, monitoring systems (telecare) and key safes (https://www.nhs.uk/social-care-and-support/care-services-equipment-and-care-homes/personal-alarms-security-systems-and-keysafes/).

Get help with costs

Some local authorities provide telecare services. Contact adult social care services at your local authority and ask if they provide telecare services. If they do, they’ll arrange a home assessment.

Digital phone switchover

All households in the UK are being moved from the old analogue landline service to a new digital, internet-based voice service, known as Digital Voice, by January 2027.

This is called the digital phone switchover (https://digitalphoneswitchover.com/) and it may affect telecare devices and personal alarms. Some analogue telecare devices are not digitally compatible or do not perform as reliably on digital networks and may need to be upgraded.

If you or someone you know uses telecare, you should contact your landline provider in the first instance. They can help to make sure your alarm keeps working through the switchover.

UN Human Rights Council 58: Core Group Statement at the Enhanced Interactive Dialogue on the report of the Commission of Human Rights in South Sudan
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-28)

Core Group Statement at the 58 Human Rights Council for the Enhanced Interactive Dialogue on the report of the Commission of Human Rights in South Sudan. Delivered by the UK's Permanent Representative to the WTO & UN, Simon Manley.

Thank you, Mr President.

I am pleased to speak on behalf of the Item 2 core group for South Sudan - Albania, Norway, Ireland and the UK.

We thank the Commissioners for their important report. We also welcome South Sudan’s continued cooperation with the Commission and the Minister of Justice’s presence today.

The Commission’s report demonstrates the scale of ongoing human rights violations and abuses committed in South Sudan. Civic space and media freedom are severely restricted. Appalling acts of conflict-related sexual violence are being committed frequently, and with impunity, across the country.

While the recent passing of legislation on transitional justice institutions represents some progress, only fully resourced and operational institutions can deliver justice and accountability for the South Sudanese people.

During this extension period, the Revitalised Agreement must be fully implemented, including operationalising the Chapter Five transitional mechanisms and holding peaceful, inclusive and credible elections in 2026.

We remain committed to continuing our support to the people of South Sudan and their path to peace, reconciliation and accountability.

The Commission plays a vital role in supporting such efforts. Its mandate must therefore be extended in full in this Session, to ensure continued, robust scrutiny of the human rights situation.

We will continue to engage with South Sudan in the hope that this extension can be agreed by consensus.

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.

TTM02110 - Tonnage tax elections: How to elect?
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-03)


Form of election

The initial tonnage tax election should contain the following particulars (ignoring the group requirements where there is only a singleton company):

The name and unique taxpayer reference of each qualifying company in the group.

A name for the tonnage tax group that can be used as convenient shorthand in correspondence and on tax returns, for example, ‘XYZ TT Group’.

It is helpful to include ‘tonnage tax’ in the name, as a tonnage tax group may have different membership from the UK group for other tax purposes.
- Full details of the tonnage tax group structure, including details of non-qualifying companies.
For many groups this will be a straightforward comment to the effect that the group consists of XYZ parent company with 100% subsidiaries A, B and C. However, where control is, for instance, traced through individuals or complex share structures, details will be required. For foreign owned groups, the information should include details of the overseas structure within which the UK companies are placed.
- The accounting period(s) from which the election is to take effect.
If this is not the period in which the election is made, an explanation must be given.

The signature of an authorised person from each company to confirm that the companies are jointly making the election.

A declaration confirming that:

- all companies included on the election are qualifying companies,

- all qualifying companies in the tonnage tax group are included in the election, and

- a certificate of training commitment approval from the Department for Transport is in force.

A renewal election should contain the above information, except that:

A start date is not required.

The training declaration should be that a training certificate is in force and that the group or company is not subject to a certificate of non-compliance.
The writing framework
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-10)

The writing framework outlines a common approach to teaching writing based on evidence and existing good practice.

This guidance is for primary schools.

It will also be of interest to those who want to know more about how pupils learn to write, including:
- initial teacher training providers
- early years providers
- secondary teachers
- teachers in specialist settings
The writing framework:
- is based on teachers’ experiences, classroom observations and research, as well as the contributions of experts
- gives simple, practical advice about how to teach writing to pupils in the reception year, key stage 1 and key stage 2
- provides guidance on how to help pupils who need more support
