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 Acurisk 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 Acurisk 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
- Armed Forces Charities
We also pledge the following:

Our company is part owned by former armed forces personnel (R Signals and Special Forces) and one of the Directors is a former Royal Marine. Details are available in our website. www.acurisk.co.uk We are a new insurance broker and need to grow. One of our core offerings is our specialist risk management knowledge to support our clients manage risk. We are drawing in ad hoc support at present from former military personnel to support cyber, accident & travel and physical damage policies. We aim to formalise these arrangements by providing full contracts in the near future. As well as direct placements for former military personnel that we know and trust, we will consider advertising in through the Career Transitions Partnership. https://www.modctp.co.uk/home We already support a range of military charities raise funds by attendance at military charity events. As a caring employer, we will provide private medical insurance/healthcare for our employees who already include former military personnel. For those former service men and women who we employ, we will provide funding so that they can undertake profession insurance qualifications (through the Chartered Insurance Industry) and enhance their career prospects. As well as supporting their development, this will directly support our company and empower them as well as building competence and confidence. We respect and appreciate our serving and former members of the armed forces. We commit to do all that we can to recruit and support the people who put their country before themselves to protect our freedom. All three Directors from the company are from military families and have personal stories of the impact that serving in the military can have. We therefore commit, without reservation, to the armed forces covenant and supporting our armed forces personnel.

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.
