Adult social care and the cost of inaction: government response to the HSCC
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-04)

Government response to the recommendations made by the Health and Social Care Committee (HSCC) in their report on adult social care and the cost of inaction.

This is the government’s formal response to the recommendations made by the Health and Social Care Committee in their report Adult social care reform: the cost of inaction (https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5901/cmselect/cmhealth/368/report.html), published on 5 May 2025.

The government welcomes the committee’s report and shares their view that adult social care should be championed for its transformative impact. The government recognises the significant challenges facing the system and agrees that comprehensive reform is essential. This is already underway with immediate improvements being made while an independent commission, chaired by Baroness Louise Casey, will set out a long-term plan to build a national care service.

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 Ceredigion County Council 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 Ceredigion County Council 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:

Check if you need a licence at shopping centres or retail outlets
Source: gov.uk (2025-06-16)

Find out how SIA licensing applies to shopping centres and retail outlets.

If you own or manage a shopping centre or retail outlet, some of your staff may need an SIA licence. You may also need an SIA licence yourself.

This page explains when you need a licence.

You should seek independent legal advice if you are still not sure whether you need a licence after reading this page.

When your staff need a front line licence

Your staff need a front line SIA licence if the work they will be doing is part of a ‘contract for services’ and involves a ‘licensable activity’.

A ‘contract for services’ is when you have a contract to supply their services to another organisation. An example of this would be where you employ someone to guard your shopping centre, and you charge the shops within it a fee for that person’s services.

A ‘licensable activity’ is a job that requires you to hold a licence before you can do it.

These are:
- Cash and valuables in transit
- Close protection
- Door supervision
- Public space surveillance (CCTV)
- Security guarding
- Key holding
- Vehicle immobilisation (Northern Ireland only)
Licensed premises

Your staff will not usually need an SIA licence if they will be working ‘in-house’. This is when you employ them directly and you do not contract out their services to any other organisation.

However, they do need to have an SIA licence if they work in-house and their job involves manned guarding at a licensed premises (door supervision). ‘Licensed premises’ means a venue that has a licence to sell alcohol and/or provide regulated entertainment (for example, live music or film screenings).

This applies when the premises are open to the public, at times when alcohol is being supplied for consumption, or regulated entertainment is being provided, on the premises.

The local licensing authority will decide on what area is covered by the premises licence. The licence may cover a single establishment (such as a café) or an entire store or shopping centre.

When you need a non-front line licence as a director or manager

You need a non-front line licence if:
- you will not personally be doing the licensable activities described above, but will be managing or supervising people who will
- you are a director of a company, or partner of a firm, where any other directors, partners or employees perform licensable activities in their job
‘Director’ includes executive and non-executive directors, shadow directors, parent company directors, and corporate entities holding a directorship.

ECSH54625 - General AMP risks
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-18)


General AMP risks

Art market participants (AMPs) are at risk from money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing. For more information on proliferation financing see ECSH33206 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/economic-crime-supervision-handbook/ecsh33206).

Within the services provided by AMPs to their customers, there is a risk of exploitation by criminals in order to launder illicit monies and conceal assets. Common risks throughout the sector may present as, but are not limited to, the following:
- From a selling perspective, there is a risk that an AMP may handle or facilitate a sale of a work of art which is stolen, looted or purchased with the proceeds of crimes such as tax evasion, fraud, forgery, and drug trafficking.
- There is also a risk the artwork could have been purchase with funds linked to terrorism, contributing to the financing of terrorism.
- On the buying side, money laundering could occur where the AMP facilitates the purchase of a work of art with funds which are derived from criminal activities.
- The UK art market is considered at high risk of money laundering because criminals can conceal the ultimate beneficial owner of art, as well as the source of funds used to purchase art.

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

Have a baa-rilliant adventure this World Wetlands Day
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-22)

People across the Lower Derwent Valley are being invited to explore the wonders of nature as part of World Wetlands Day celebrations.

Residents and visitors to the Lower Derwent Valley are being encouraged to enjoy our baa-rilliant wetlands as part of worldwide celebrations next month and to get involved in taking actions to help recover nature.

Hosted by the Lower Derwent Valley National Nature Reserve team, in partnership with Leeds Beckett University, the event on 1st February aims to raise awareness about the importance of preserving our local in-land wetland and its rare wildlife inhabitants.

Held at Melbourne Village Hall, between 10:30am and 3:30pm, the event will also see a celebrity guest in the form of Countryside Code champion, Shaun the Sheep. Visitors will be able to meet Shaun against the backdrop of nature-inspired artwork by students from Melbourne Primary School and take part in engaging activities, ranging from expert-led educational talks on wetland preservation to guided wildlife walks that reveal the beauty of the surrounding ecosystem.

For those who prefer a more creative side, there will also be a range of immersive experiences on offer such as crafting bird feeders, bird boxes, and wildflower seed bombs, as well as the chance to participate in a conservation volunteer task aimed at preserving the wetland habitat.

This hands-on activity will offer a glimpse into the work involved in maintaining the nature reserve and provides an opportunity for individuals to consider volunteering at the site.

In addition, there will be ringing demonstrations allowing visitors to observe birds up close and learn about the importance of safeguarding their habitat.

Craig Ralston, Reserve Manager for Natural England, said:

Our wetlands are vital for our planet and there is an urgent need to raise awareness of their importance and reverse their loss.

We would love lots of people to come to this event and take part in fun activities that will show why the Lower Derwent Valley wetlands matter. Activities on the day are suitable for all ages, and we hope that by getting involved, people can experience first-hand the wellbeing benefits of working to recover nature.

Wetlands are critically important ecosystems that contribute to biodiversity, climate mitigation, freshwater availability and more. They are also amazing places for people to visit and experience nature in a responsible manner.

World Wetlands Day is an annual observance day, celebrated every 02 February, focusing on the vital role of wetlands for people and planet.
