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 TSW Training 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 TSW Training 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

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.
Safety warning issued following Egyptian liveaboard dive boat accidents in the Red Sea resulting in the loss of life
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-06)

This bulletin urges prospective customers intending to stay on liveaboard vessels to book through reputable vendors only.

Safety Bulletin 1/2025

Safety Bulletin 1/2025 - Red Sea Dive Boats (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/67a3518ab74b3d9dfe36ca81/2025-SB1-RedSeaDiveBoats.pdf)

Summary

Over the last 5 years, 16 accidents have occurred involving liveaboard dive vessels operating in the Red Sea. Three liveaboard dive boats have been lost in the last 21 months that resulted in numerous deaths including some UK nationals. Today, the MAIB has published safety advice aimed at people considering a dive boat holiday in the Red Sea.

Safety Issues

The dive boats involved were poorly constructed and often substantially. modified/extended which resulted in some vessels exhibiting inadequate stability

Essential lifesaving equipment was defective, out-of-date for service and, in some cases, missing

The rapid spread of fire is indicative of poor structural fire protection, and items of essential safety equipment, such as fire detection systems and fire extinguishers, were either missing or defective

Emergency escape routes were via lockable doors, had no emergency lighting and were unmarked

Safety briefings to passengers were of a poor standard or not conducted at all and crews appeared poorly trained and were unfamiliar with their vessels.

Statement from the Chief Inspector of Marine Accidents (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/safety-bulletin-12025-published)

Recommendation
- Prospective customers are advised only to book liveaboard dive holidays through reputable vendors who can provide assurance about the safety standards applicable to the dive boat. On arrival on board, customers should request that the crew provide a thorough safety briefing before departure.

Judicial Summary

The Disclosure and Barring Service included the Appellant on both barred lists following an incident in which a service user fell from his bed to the floor while the Appellant and a co-worker were providing personal care. The DBS made the barring decisions not because of the fall itself but rather for the attempted cover-up through repeated failures to report and record the incident. The Upper Tribunal dismissed the Appellant’s appeal, holding that there was no error of law or material mistake of fact in the DBS’s decision.

Maritime decarbonisation strategy
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-25)

Supporting the UK domestic maritime sector to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050.

Our goal is for UK domestic maritime to aim for zero fuel lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, with at least a 30% reduction by 2030 and an 80% reduction by 2040, relative to 2008 levels.

Alongside this strategy, we have included an analytical annex for the strategy. Additionally, see the Maritime emissions modelling framework (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/maritime-emissions-modelling-framework) for more information.

Our maritime decarbonisation strategy is aligned with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) GHG strategy (https://www.imo.org/en/OurWork/Environment/Pages/2023-IMO-Strategy-on-Reduction-of-GHG-Emissions-from-Ships.aspx).

To further develop the policies set out in the maritime decarbonisation strategy, we are seeking views on 2 calls for evidence:
- net zero ports (https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/net-zero-ports-challenges-and-opportunities)
- decarbonising smaller vessels (https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/decarbonising-smaller-vessels)

Right main gear leg oleo detached, Sherburn-in-Elmet Airfield, Yorkshire, 22 June 2024

On takeoff, the right main gear oleo and wheel assembly fell free from the landing gear cylinder, but remained attached to the aircraft by the brake hose. The cause was failure of both torque link attachment lugs due to fatigue cracking. A Service Bulletin issued by the manufacturer exists to inspect the lugs, but it is not mandated in the UK and the failure occurred outside of the inspection interval. Following previous occurrences, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) issued Safety Notice SN-2024/002 to raise awareness to owners and operators of affected aircraft, and it continues to monitor instances of cracking in the lugs.

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.

Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

Scottish defence skills and jobs boost as welding facility secured through new Government funding
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-29)

The Welding Skills Centre in Glasgow developing the future skills pipeline needed to deliver the UK’s nuclear deterrent is secured through £2.5 million in funding, boosting defence jobs in Scotland.

Scottish defence skills and jobs will be boosted, as the UK Government commits £2.5 million in funding for a specialist welding skills centre in Glasgow.

The new funding will safeguard a crucial pipeline of defence jobs in Scotland, helping to make defence an engine for growth. A skilled welding workforce will be trained at the facility, supporting the delivery of nuclear reactors that power the Royal Navy’s fleet of submarines.

The funding will be delivered through the Government’s Unity contract with Rolls Royce, an eight-year agreement worth approximately £9 billion to bolster support to the Royal Navy’s fleet of nuclear submarines.

The centre will initially be operated by Rolls Royce Submarines in partnership with Malin Group and Strathclyde University, with potential future capacity for other organisations.

This investment delivers on the ambitions of the recently launched Defence Industrial Strategy, which puts skills at the heart of the Government’s plans to make the country safer and boost jobs across the UK.

Rolls Royce designs, builds and maintains nuclear reactors that power Royal Navy submarines. The Unity contract, which runs until December 2032, brings together current and future work between Rolls Royce and the Ministry of Defence into a single portfolio, including skills development programmes that support good, productive jobs and economic growth.

This announcement follows the recent £10 billion Type 26 Frigate contract with Norway, which will see the vessels built in Scotland, further cementing the UK’s position as a global leader in defence manufacturing.
