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 Safran Aerosystems Services UK 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 Safran Aerosystems Services UK 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
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.

RFIG20960 - Statutory Residence Test (SRT): Deceased persons - The application of the SRT: Deceased individuals and the sufficient ties test
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)


The UK ties test may need to be considered in respect of a deceased person.

With regard to a deceased individual who was either UK resident in 1 or more of the previous 3 tax years, or had not been UK resident in any of the 3 previous tax years; the number of days shown in Tables A and B (RFIG20520 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-and-fig-regime-manual/rfig20520)), must be reduced proportionally.

The proportion is determined by reducing the number of days shown in the tables to reflect the number of whole months left in the tax year after the individual's death.

A whole month means the whole of January, the whole of February and so on. Except for April where 6-30 April counts as the whole month. This results in revised time spans as set out in Tables C and D (RFIG20970 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-and-fig-regime-manual/rfig20970)).

Lebanese Army Commander Ends Visit to The United Kingdom
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-07)

Lebanon’s inclusion in the 'Dragon Group' meetings underscores its strategic importance & longstanding partnership with the UK in promoting regional stability.

The Commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), General Rodolph Haykal attended the UK-hosted “Dragon Group” between 4-5 August, accompanied by UK Defence Attaché to Lebanon Lt Col Charlie Smith, reinforcing the strong military partnership between Lebanon and the UK.

The Dragon Group is a UK-led initiative launched in 2018 aboard HMS Dragon to bring together Chiefs of Defence from across the Middle Eastern region. Initially comprising nine nations, the group has evolved to reflect the region’s broader security landscape. Lebanon’s inclusion this year underscores its strategic importance and longstanding partnership with the UK in promoting regional stability.

The ninth meeting took place in Edinburgh, Scotland, to coincide with the world-famous Military Tattoo.

During his visit, General Haykal met with the UK Chief of Defence Staff Admiral Sir Tony Radakin and Chiefs of Defence from across the Middle East. Discussions focused on enhancing bilateral cooperation, regional security, and continued UK support for the LAF as the sole legitimate defender of Lebanon.

This visit underscores the UK’s commitment to Lebanon’s stability and sovereignty. Since 2009, the UK has provided over £161 million in support to Lebanon’s security institutions, including £106 million in direct assistance to the LAF through training, equipment, and infrastructure.

Charge D’Affaires Victoria Dunne said:

The visit of the Lebanese Army Commander General Haykal to the UK reflects the strength of our defence partnership and the UK’s ongoing support for the Lebanese Armed Forces. We stand with Lebanon in its efforts to maintain peace, security, and sovereignty.

UK Defence Attaché Lt. Col. Charlie Smith said:

The Lebanese Armed Forces plays a vital role in Lebanon’s and the region’s stability. I am grateful for General Haykal’s valuable contribution to this meeting of the Dragon Group. We are proud to work alongside the LAF supporting with training, kit and equipment. Our bilateral military cooperation remains strong and we reaffirm our commitment to their mission and capabilities.

Data on prevalence, risk and related factors, service contacts, and quality and outcomes.

January 2025 update

This update includes premature mortality and excess premature mortality for people with SMI indicators (including condition-specific indicators) for the periods 2021 to 2023 for England, regions and upper tier local authorities.

Excess premature mortality for people with SMI indicators by gender have been suppressed where gender is over 5% missing in the data used to calculate the denominator populations, and a data quality note has been applied where gender is 2.5% up to 5% missing in the data used to calculate the denominator populations.

About the severe mental illness profile

The severe mental illness profile has been produced to support an intelligence-driven approach to understanding and meeting need. It provides data to help improve support, services and outcomes for people living with and recovering from severe mental illness. The profile also provides planners, providers and stakeholders with the means to profile their area and benchmark against similar populations.

Sellafield powers forward with more resilient electricity supply
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-19)

An important project to ensure the Sellafield site has a more resilient electricity supply has taken a significant step forward.

The Electrical Distribution Network Upgrade Project (EDNUP) aims to strengthen the site’s electrical distribution network by installing six new substations and bolstering its emergency power generation capability.

The project is being delivered by the Infrastructure Strategic Alliance, an alliance between Sellafield Ltd, Morgan Sindall Infrastructure and Arup.

After months of planning, six enormous boxes containing new generators, fuel tanks and roof assemblies were delivered to Sellafield in late 2024.

Each generator and fuel tank has a combined weight of approximately 117 tonnes and required a specialist 750 tonne crane to lift them into place.

Work is now underway to connect and test the generators to get them ready for operation.

This is another step towards ensuring the site will always have the power it needs, even in the event of a national grid shortage.

Paul Wells, construction manager for Sellafield, said:

We are a complex project with a huge footprint as we are routing, cabling and installing substations in different locations right across the site.

A vital part of our success has been the collaborative way in which our Sellafield construction team, Morgan Sindall Infrastructure, Arup and our subcontractors have approached this project, enabling success and safe delivery, to a high standard at every milestone.

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.

Independent Review of Disclosure and Fraud Offences
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-03)

This review has been set up to consider the challenges of investigating and prosecuting fraud cases and the operation of the disclosure regime in a digital age.

The government published the Fraud Strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fraud-strategy) in May 2023.

The strategy committed the government to launch an independent review into how the disclosure regime is working in a digital age and if fraud offences, including those specified in the Fraud Act 2006, meet the challenges of investigating and prosecuting modern fraud.

There has not been an independent review of fraud since 1986. Since that time, the nature and scale of fraud has evolved considerably, now constituting over 40% of all offences in England and Wales.

As the proportion of online fraud has increased, so have the challenges facing investigators and prosecutors.

Membership

Jonathan Fisher KC has been appointed Chair of the Independent Review of Disclosure and Fraud Offences.

Jonathan is a leading King’s Counsel in financial crime, proceeds of crime, fraud (civil and criminal), and tax (corporate and VAT) cases.

He has been a visiting professor in practice at the LSE (London School Of Economics And Political Science) since 2006. He holds a PhD which was awarded by the LSE following his research into money laundering cases and the relationship between the obligation to report suspicious activity and corporate rights.
