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 The Compliance and Skills Academy 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 The Compliance and Skills Academy 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
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

Offering a discount on COSAC courses to members of the Armed Forces Community.

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.

For England and Wales, Breathing Space scheme statistics are also included.

Main messages for England and Wales

In March 2025, 9,205 individuals entered insolvency in England and Wales. This was 7% lower than in February 2025 but 2% higher than in March 2024.

The number of IVAs registered in March 2025 was 9% lower than the average monthly number seen in 2024. Bankruptcy numbers remained at about half of pre-2020 levels and were also 11% lower than in March 2024.

In the 12 months ending 31 March 2025, one in 415 adults in England and Wales entered insolvency (at a rate of 24.1 per 10,000 adults). This is higher than the rate of 21.3 per 10,000 adults (one in 469) who entered insolvency in the 12 months ending 31 March 2024.

There were 8,033 Breathing Space registrations in March 2025. This is 4% higher than in March 2024.

Defence resettlement policy for UK armed forces personnel.

JSP 534: tri-service resettlement policy explains the support available to members of the UK armed forces in making a successful transition from military to civilian life.

This policy was originally released in response to an FOI request for information in February 2008. This version can be found at the UK Government Web Archive (http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20121110094959/http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/FreedomOfInformation/PublicationScheme/SearchPublicationScheme/TriserviceResettlementManualjsp534.htm).

JSP 534 version 24 was released on 21 March 2025 as simplified policy and procedure documents with reduction of duplication. Some amendments have been made in line with the new Career Transition Partnership (CTP) contract (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/career-transition-partnership). The overall resettlement policy provision and CTP programmes have not changed.

If you require access to MOD resettlement forms or older versions of this JSP please contact your Service Resettlement Advisor. If you are an employer or training provider, the best way to engage with service leavers is to register your interest through the CTP via MOD CTP (https://www.modctp.co.uk/home).

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 L J Heffernan Utilities will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:

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.

This is the gamma (0.4) publication of the UK digital identity and attributes trust framework. It is the first statutory trust framework (‘the DVS trust framework’) under section 28 of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (‘the Act’)

This statutory publication supersedes the June 2025 pre-statutory publication, but certifications against pre-statutory publications will remain valid under the conditions described in Section 0.

Minimal changes were made to the content of the final publication document after the pre-release, with only small necessary corrections (outlined in Section 0) as well as alterations to the enforcement and expiry dates in the ‘Version and certification validity notes’ (also Section 0).

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.
